How is Racism being exploited in Toni Morrison's novels?

Not sure what you mean by exploited. How can you exploit something that is nothing but harmful? How can you hurt something that is itself hurtful, and which has no validity or life of its own?

Nevertheless, here are some interesting articles that touch on Toni's views about racism, which might help answer the question: http://clogic.eserver.org/2002/schwartz.html From this one: "What I am determined to do is to take what is articulated as an elusive race-free paradise and domesticate it. I am determined to concretize a literary discourse that (outside of science fiction) resonates exclusively in the register of permanently unrealizable dream. It is a discourse that (unwittingly) allows racism an intellectual weight to which it has absolutely no claim.

Unlike the successful advancement of argument, narration requires the active complicity of a reader willing to step outside established boundaries of the racial imaginary. And, unlike visual media, narrative has not pictures to ease the difficulty of that step." http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_n14_v94/ai_21071954 http://www.time.com/time/community/pulitzerinterview.html http://grace.evergreen.edu/~arunc/texts/literature/toni.pdf To add to this, take a look at a specific novel, maybe.

For example, in Song of Solomon, here is an analysis of how race is used: http://www.shmoop.com/theme/literature/toni-morrison/song-of-solomon/race.html And here are some additional resources: http://www.shmoop.com/best-of-the-webs/literature/toni-morrison/song-of-solomon.html.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
