• Part of the book series (LL) Abstract Morrison’s immersion in the world of African belief systems and its centuries of lore fueled her decision to attempt a novel about the multi-generational “Dead” family. She kept them American, and African American; she started this third novel, Song of Solomon, with the families of both Macon Dead and Pilate Dead living in Michigan, a state still segregated in the 1940s but (probably) less racist than would have been a state located in the deep South. Reifying the experiences she had known as she grew up close to Lake Erie at the northern edge of Ohio, Morrison created the “better” part of this Michigan town as the site of Macon Dead’s large home, and set it in contrast to “Darling Street,” where Pilate and her unconventional family of women lived a seemingly less stable life. (Pilate did not believe in either paying for, or having, modern technology such as electricity or city water; she was announcing to the world that she was a creature from a different culture, whether a griot, an ancestor, or a witch; her brother Macon, in contrast, had assimilated to the point that he took on the persona of a successful white business man, though he behaved cruelly to his fragile wife and daughters.).
