초록
This paper traces the process of homecoming of Frank Money, the protagonist of Toni Morrison’s tenth novel, Home. He finds himself homeless or not being at home both in his domestic homes and at a battlefield abroad. His experiences of being thrown out of his own house and witnessing a black body violently buried by supposedly white racists cause his home and hometown, Lotus, to be recognized as an uncanny, or “unhomely,” place. His unexpected voyage home is triggered by his treasured sister, Cee, dying with a severe uterine damage done by a white evil doctor. As his sister gets healed by the female community of Lotus, Frank is led to confront his fantasy and false image of himself and his own country America. Although Lotus remains “both fresh and ancient, safe and demanding,” the siblings feel at home in Lotus after they offer the proper burial for the black victim and recuperate his humanity. Morrison’s equivocal and ambivalent attitude towards the possibility of homecoming suggests that her writing home as a “race-specific yet nonracist” place is to unsettle and deconstruct the established foundation of the “house that race built.”
Abstract
This paper traces the process of homecoming of Frank Money, the protagonist of Toni Morrison’s tenth novel, Home. He finds himself homeless or not being at home both in his domestic homes and at a battlefield abroad. His experiences of being thrown out of his own house and witnessing a black body violently buried by supposedly white racists cause his home and hometown, Lotus, to be recognized as an uncanny, or “unhomely,” place. His unexpected voyage home is triggered by his treasured sister, Cee, dying with a severe uterine damage done by a white evil doctor. As his sister gets healed by the female community of Lotus, Frank is led to confront his fantasy and false image of himself and his own country America. Although Lotus remains “both fresh and ancient, safe and demanding,” the siblings feel at home in Lotus after they offer the proper burial for the black victim and recuperate his humanity. Morrison’s equivocal and ambivalent attitude towards the possibility of homecoming suggests that her writing home as a “race-specific yet nonracist” place is to unsettle and deconstruct the established foundation of the “house that race built.”
