... the authors take a balanced, practical and jargon-free tone well suited to their corporate audience ... The book is perhaps most valuable in terms of the overarching perspectives it attempts to impart to managers: that "community relations" activities are not the only, or even the most powerful, drivers of local perceptions of a project (for example, the impact of actual business operations on communities inevitably can be far more important); that an inclusive and respectful process of engagement is often more valuable than generous community investments made unilaterally by the company; and that all aspects of a company's operations which affect its "license to operate", from government relations to security policy, are better addressed as elements of a coherent strategy than through ad hoc fire-fighting. If managers were able to fully take these principles on board, much local opposition could no doubt be avoided. Read the full review - Rob Foulkes, Critical Resource.

&ldquo;&lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo; . . .&#160;&#160;is ambitious, pointed, and surprisingly playful when it comes to race. Morrison described it as &lsquo;an experiment in the removal of all racial codes from a narrative about two characters of different races for whom racial identity is crucial&rsquo;. . . . So shrewd and economical is Morrison&rsquo;s storytelling, so tightly controlled is her experiment. &lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo; is brilliant and worthy of space in your brain and bookshelf.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Philadelphia Inquirer&#160;&ldquo;Nobel laureate Morrison&rsquo;s only short story, originally published in 1983 and now as a slender, elegant volume enhanced by Smith&rsquo;s insightful introduction, is a knockout. . . . In her captivating story, Morrison ingeniously leads readers to challenge racial stereotypes and consider nuanced power dynamics with questions that linger beyond the last page.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The National Book Review&#160;&ldquo;When I return to &lsquo;Recitatif,&rsquo; it is with a renewed understanding that, along with a handful of other African Americans, Morrison was among the first to depict Black culture while&#160;also&#160;considering politics, while&#160;also&#160;considering United States history, while&#160;also&#160;considering white supremacy, while&#160;also&#160;considering economic class, while&#160;also&#160;considering gender, while&#160;also&#160;considering intergenerational trauma. As the kids might say, Toni Morrison did that.&rdquo;&mdash;Honor&eacute;e Fanonne Jeffers, New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Strikingly relevant. . . . We can never tell definitively which woman is White and which is Black. It shouldn&rsquo;t matter,&#160;but it does. The story constantly tempts us to test our racial attitudes about clothing, food, hair, even money. . . . This is the perfect text for a country still vigorously debating the relevance of race. But the singular quality of this story makes it worthwhile, especially because the book contains a long, thoughtful introduction by Zadie Smith, who says, rightly, that &lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo; should sit alongside &lsquo;Bartleby, the Scrivener&rsquo; and &lsquo;The Lottery&rsquo; &lsquo;as a perfect&mdash;and perfectly American&mdash;tale&rsquo;. . . . Smith&rsquo;s illuminating discussion . . . provides a close reading and examines the way racial categories function in our allegedly post-racial culture.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Ron Charles, Washington Post&ldquo;Page for page, it is as powerful and audacious an exploration of racial bias in America as her 11 novels. . . . profoundly thought-provoking. Even four decades after this story was written, readers are ineluctably drawn into a quandary about which character is white and which is Black. But here&rsquo;s the brilliance of Morrison&rsquo;s experiment: Each conjecture exposes the reader&rsquo;s own racial preconceptions. . . . &lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo; is a shrewd feat of composition and social commentary. . . . Its short length would make it an ideal, accessible selection for book groups and community-wide reading programs, sure to spark self-scrutiny and discussion. Both timely and timeless, it&rsquo;s a story I can&rsquo;t recommend highly enough.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Heller McAlpin, Christian Science Monitor&#160;&ldquo;Toni Morrison spoke often about the incoherence of race. . . . While maintaining that&#160;there is no such thing as race, the&#160;acclaimed writer and Nobel laureate&#160;explored extensively through her work how living in a society structured around this artificial category shaped the lives of her characters.&#160;Those very ideas are at the heart of &lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo;. The story is a puzzle of sorts, as Smith writes in the introduction, because Morrison never explicitly reveals the racial identity of either character. . . .&#160;Morrison challenges the reader's impulse to neatly categorize people and forces them to consider other markers: disability, gender, class. . . . Though &lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo; was written decades earlier, the themes it deals with and the questions it poses, remain relevant as ever.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;CNN.com&#160;&ldquo;To much of the world the late Toni Morrison was a novelist, celebrated for such classics as Beloved, Song of Solomon and The Bluest Eye. But the Nobel laureate did not confine herself to one kind of writing. . . . In her introduction, Smith likens &lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo; to a puzzle or a game, while warning that &lsquo;Toni Morrison does not play.&rsquo; Throughout the story, Morrison will refer to everything from hair length to social status as if to challenge the reader&rsquo;s own racial assumptions.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;AP News&#160;&ldquo;Morrison&rsquo;s only published short story is reissued here with an illuminating foreword by Zadie Smith. . . . Like much of Morrison&rsquo;s work, this story is a deceptively simple and intricate indictment of the ludicrousness of racism.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Buzzfeed, &ldquo;26 Books to Get Excited About This Year&rdquo;&#160;&ldquo;Morrison&rsquo;s sharp-eyed treatment of race, racism, and racial hierarchies remains relevant, digging deep into the marrow of society&rsquo;s maladies.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Literary Hub, &ldquo;Most Anticipated Books of 2022&rdquo;&#160;&ldquo;[&lsquo;Recitatif&rsquo;] stands resoundingly on its own. . . . Endlessly ponderable. In her substantial and enlightening introduction, Zadie Smith quotes Morrison, whom she describes as &lsquo;the great master of American complexity,&rsquo; explaining that this tale is &lsquo;an experiment in the removal of all racial codes.&rsquo; This is a profound and foundation-rocking conundrum of a story.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Booklist&#160;&ldquo;[A] stunning work. . . . An illuminating introduction. . . .[Morrison&rsquo;s] experiment pays off brilliantly, forcing the reader to consider racial stereotypes while also providing an indelible story. The gravitas and unparalleled skill found in Morrison&rsquo;s best-known work is on full display in this compact powerhouse.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&#160;&ldquo;A thought experiment, illuminated here by Smith's close analysis of equal length. . . .&#160;On every page, Morrison teases said reader with details about the girls, their mothers, and their lots in life that seem like they could help solve the puzzle of which is Black and which is White, yet they never conclusively do so. And as the story is designed to show and Smith will make sure you see, that is not the most important thing. . . . A uniquely interesting and enlightening reading experience.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
