La Muselivre

[Toni Morrison] success has not, she says, made her immune from racism. 'I don't pass without insults. Let me give you an example. I walk into the Waldorf Astoria in New York to check in. We're going to have a drink, and then my friend is going to go home. She stands behind me, as I check in. Finally, the guy says, "Oh, are you registering too?" He thought I was the maid. My friend was trembling with anger. It was so personal. But the irony of it was that I was on the cover of a magazine that month, and there were these posters with my face on them all over New York.'

Toni Morrison parle des USA : Bush, les Afro-américains, et le rasicme qui revient par la porte de derrière. Comme s'il était vraiment parti !
