The sentence that follows was taken from the original text below:
"Morrison's novels combine psychological realism, social critique, symbolism, and the mythopoetic,
resulting in a style similar to Magical Realism. Although her works are not limited to social protest,
Morrison is concerned with racial themes frequently encountered in African American literature. Her
novels reflect the workings of communities, the dilemmas faced by these families, and the problems
encountered in their relationships. She also has addressed historical issues such as nineteenth-century
slavery. Her fiction celebrates survival and defines black identity as multifaceted." --Joseph McLaren
