Wiebe argues that this confrontation is precisely what shapes our moral capacity to respond to people and to places. Wiebe contends that Berry manifests this moral imagination most acutely in his fiction.Berry s fiction, however, does not portray an average community or even an ideal one. Instead, he depicts brokencommunitiesin brokenplaces sites and relations scarredby the routines of racial wounds and ecological harm.Yet, in the tracing of Berry s characterswith place-based identities, Wiebe demonstrates the way in which Berry s fiction comes to embody Berry sownmoral imagination.
