How would you define "Jazz" by Toni Morrison Afro-Centric? Thanks

Like so much of Morrison's work, there is a dominant
presence of articulating the African- American experience.  The setting of the Harlem
during the Jazz Age and the South in the 1800s brings to light what it means to be
African- American in the urban North and the rural South.  Both settings become quite
important in identifying what it means to be Black in American History.  This would make
the novel one that seeks to bring formally marginalized voices that have been pushed to
the margins into the center of the discourse, giving voice to where there had been
silence.  I would argue that this is what helps to make works like this post Modern, in
that that seek to reconfigure a new discourse, one that is more inclusive and more
representative of the figments and fragments of what had been previously cut off from
understanding.
