Toni Morrison: The Magic of Words (Gateway Biography) by James Haskins, Jim Haskins, 2001
This photo-essay is written at a much lower reading level and for a much younger audience than Morrison's novels. But Haskins writes without condescension, and he includes fascinating information in a clear, direct style with short sentences. While chronicling the writer's life, Haskins also gives readers a glimpse into the times in which she has lived, providing a clear sense of her challenges and motivations.

Circles of Sorrow, Lines of Struggle: The Novels of Toni Morrison (Southern Literary Studies (Paper) by Gurleen Grewal, 2000
This text portrays Nobel Laureate Morrison as a historiographer attempting to bridge the gap between emergent black middle-class America and its sub-altern origins. Gurleen Grewal demonstrates how Morrison's novels perform a therapeutic and political function of recovery. What is most compelling about Morrison's fiction, Grewal posits, is its re-evaluation of the individual via the complex socio-political heritage that bespeaks the individual. Ultimately, these fictive "circles of sorrow" invite the reader into the collective struggle of humankind who are living the long sentence of history by repeating, contesting and remaking it.

Demonstrating that Morrison strongly supports the idea that the artist must engender and interpret culture, the book examines the novelist's contribution to the expansion and redefinition of the American literary canon through her portrayal of the African American experience.

Toni Morrison: Critical and Theoretical Approaches (Modern Fiction Studies Book) by Nancy J. Peterson (Editor), 1997
Without ignoring the literary and artistic achievments of Morrison's writing, this book calls attention to the cultural and political dimensions of her work. Drawing on a range of approaches and theories - from W.E.B. DuBois to deconstruction and postmodernism, from black feminist criticism to reader response - these essays investigate issues such as debates about canonization, about race and gender divisions in America, about the founding assumptions of African American identity.
