Toni Morrison has described her short story “Recitatif” as “an experiment in the removal of all racial codes from a narrative about two characters of different races for whom racial identity is crucial.” According to the scholar in this video, the idea of racial division is replaced by a more generalized depiction of how cruelty, discrimination, and dehumanization originates. This, the story seems to show, is the root of racial/ethnic division. What do you make of this argument about the origin of racial division and its relationship to dehumanization? Is this right? Does it miss something important about racism? In your answer discuss at least one example from the text that supports your ideas.
