"Toni Morrison and the New Black" is an academic monograph that explores how Toni Morrison explores the concept of New Blackness and the diversity of New Black values ​​in the context of post-Black art, post-Blackness, and post-racial discourse. The book traces the historical development of the concept of "black is the new black" and comprehensively connects it with African American black aesthetics - including the black arts movement, black power movement, "black is beautiful" and post-black, post-Obama and other schools of thought. By interpreting the contemporary concept of black skin and the huge fluidity between races, author Gario Akhtar believes that Morrison's concept of new blackness is based on the fluidity and intersectionality of identity and transcends any fixed definition or concept of black subjectivity. The concept of new blackness provides a new way of thinking about gender, race, racial fluidity and identity construction.
