Toni Morrison portrayed African-Americans in the 19th century with Beloved, the 20th century with The Bluest Eye, and now the 21st century with God Help the Child. In this novel, Morrison deals with skin darkness of African-Americans (a subject mainly unknown outside the African-American community), careers for African-American women and predation of children. It is a very good, but not great novel dealing with these subjects. The structure is somewhat unusual in that the chapter titles indicate which character is narrating that portion of the novel (with a few sections being told by the author).
