Alicia Garza: Situated Analysis and Practicing Being Free

In her essay “Home,” Toni Morrison explores her attempts to “convert a racist house [the
society consumed by white supremacy in which we all exist] into a race-specific yet nonracist
home,” a project that strives towards being both “free and situated” (5). To be both free and
situated speaks to the necessity of working towards a world in which everyone is truly free while
simultaneously remaining situated within and aware of the world that we inhabit now.
