"The Origin of Others" is not a novel by Toni Morrison; rather, it is a collection of lectures and essays by Toni Morrison. This work was adapted from a series of lectures she delivered at Harvard University as part of the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures in 2016. The lectures explore the concept of "otherness" and the ways in which literature has contributed to the construction of racial and cultural differences. In "The Origin of Others," Toni Morrison examines how literature and storytelling have been instrumental in shaping perceptions of race and identity. She reflects on the historical roots of racial distinctions and the impact of literature in reinforcing or challenging these distinctions. Morrison delves into works by various authors, including William Faulkner, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Ernest Hemingway, to illustrate her points.
