PART OF TONI MORRISON'S ONGOING REVISION OF AMERICAN HISTORY, HER novel Paradise (1997), replaces within the historical record a past that has been excluded from it and raises questions that it has avoided about the exercise of freedom in American cultures. As characters attempt to construct a new world of freedom within North America, Morrison's history of African American life also participates in the re-examination by late twentieth-century cultural critics of the spatiality of social meaning. In what follows, I want to explore the radical geographical imaginaries at work in Paradise, especially the spatial revisions the novel makes necessary to practices of freedom
