Postscript summary

The first black person to be born at Michigan’s Mercy Hospital, in August 1931, Macon ‘Milkman’ Dead grows up in a wealthy household but is unsettled. Morrison’s prize-winning novel addresses themes of racism, cultural heritage and identity as it follows Milkman’s journey south as a young man, originally in pursuit of his family’s hidden treasure but then in a bid to uncover as much information as he can about his family’s remarkable ancestry.
