Coppin/Adjourn
Dr. Kokavah Zauditu-Selassie is associate professor of English at Coppin State University, Baltimore. She had her paper,
"Redistributing Justice and Balancing the Scales of Truth: An Examination of Law in the Novels of Toni Morrison" accepted
for the 2009 Conference of the American Literature Association, (Boston, May, 2009). She is the author of African Spiritual
Traditions in the Novels of Toni Morrison (University of Florida Press, 2009). This work has received critical praise: "Zauditu-
Selassie is uniquely positioned to write this book, as she is not only a literary critic but also a practicing Obatala priest in the
Yoruba spiritual tradition and a Mama Nganga in the Kongo spiritual system. She analyzes tensions between communal and
individual values and moral codes as represented in Morrison's novels. She also uses interviews with and nonfiction written by
Morrison to further build her critical paradigm."
