Blonde Roots

In "Blonde Roots," acclaimed author Bernardine Evaristo explores a provocative alternate history where the transatlantic slave trade is reversed, with Africans enslaving Europeans. Through the eyes of Doris, an Englishwoman captured and taken to the New World, the story delves into her hardships, dreams, and the enduring impact of racism while she seeks freedom. This "dizzying satire" challenges cultural attitudes and offers a unique perspective on inhumanity and resilience.
