Slater states “That people with high self-esteem pose a greater threat to those around them than people with low self-esteem” (623-624). I think Slater has a good point I feel self-esteem is a...

Toni Morrison’s critical approach, described in Playing in the Dark, often involves the scrutiny of the binary and the denaturalization of those racial binaries. In her novel Beloved, the racial binary is accompanied by the idea of family, where the dominant group can achieve the ideal family while the subordinate group cannot. As a form of othering, the white patriarchal structure marginalizes slave families by making it seem as though the heteronormative family structure—husband, wife, and children—is unattainable by them....
