Tar Baby's Space Strategy and Cultural Identity

As the only Afro-American female writer who has received the prestigious Nobel Prize,Toni Morrison has drawn great scholarly attention both at home and abroad.Among her most studied novels,Tar Baby is perhaps the least written about and the most controversial work.The space strategy adopted in this novel plays a very important role for black characters to resist a fixed,essential identity and search for a mobile black cultural identity instead.
