This chapter illuminates how Toni Morrison’s Africana spiritual trauma narrative Love (2003) draws on West African or Pan-African cosmologies and deploys spiritual modes and symbols as literary expressions of traumatic experience and resistance as a means to link characters to trauma via ancestral knowledge traditions, thus engaging readers by highlighting alternative ways of knowing to the Western perspective. More specifically, the chapter examines the ways in which Love is informed by aspects of a West African worldview to explore the impact of racial division and racism and the costs of the Civil Rights Movement and shows that the novel performs spiritual work as it enacts for readers a spiritual consciousness of interconnectedness that counters the binary logic on which traumatizing forces depend and that denies African American and Diasporic spiritual epistemologies. As part of her undertaking of reclaiming ancestral knowledge, Morrison employs the water deity Yemoja to connect characters with readers modeling a shift in awareness acted out by the two main characters as they reconcile after decades of misunderstanding. Ultimately, Yemoja represents love in the novel, in her concern for and protection of the protagonists in an African American context of segregation and post-civil rights.
