Summary/Abstract: Published in 2012, Home by Toni Morrison brings into discussion some of the problems which the African-Americans of the 1950s confronted, and it concentrates, in less than 150 pages, on the destinies of two brothers, Frank and Ycidra Money, from Lotus, Georgia. Morrison’s style is direct, concise, accessible and heartwarming. The two concepts upon which I have concentrated throughout the novel are “otherness” and “change,” both of them showing the development of the protagonists’ personalities, as well as how they can influence the lives of the main characters.
