It is a dialogue that interweaves the current events of migration with Toni Morrison's book: Beloved. The novel tells of a house and its inhabitants in an America where a river traces the division between freedom and slavery. Between Europe and Africa, that border zone is the Mediterranean: a sea of transit and fishing, a liquid border and an open wound. Another aspect of Beloved reflects on what the words freedom and responsibility mean. From Morrison's women to those of today, the questions here have the same gravity. Reading Toni Morrison today means once again asking what Europe is; a Europe that then with slavery, now with migration laws has had to and must dehumanise not only slaves/migrants but also itself.

Abstract
It is a dialogue that interweaves the current events of migration with Toni Morrison's book: Beloved. The novel tells of a house and its inhabitants in an America where a river traces the division between freedom and slavery. Between Europe and Africa, that border zone is the Mediterranean: a sea of transit and fishing, a liquid border and an open wound. Another aspect of Beloved reflects on what the words freedom and responsibility mean. From Morrison's women to those of today, the questions here have the same gravity. Reading Toni Morrison today means once again asking what Europe is; a Europe that then with slavery, now with migration laws has had to and must dehumanise not only slaves/migrants but also itself.
