A provocative and "dizzying satire" (
The New Yorker
) that "boldly turns history on its head" (
Elle
) from the Man Booker Prize winning author of
Girl, Woman, Other
.
What if the history of the transatlantic slave trade had been reversed and Africans had enslaved Europeans? How would that have changed the ways that people justified their inhuman behavior? How would it inform our cultural attitudes and the insidious racism that still lingers today? We see this tragicomic world turned upside down through the eyes of Doris, an Englishwoman enslaved and taken to the New World, movingly recounting experiences of tremendous hardship and the dreams of the people she has left behind, all while journeying toward an escape into freedom.
A poignant and dramatic story grounded in provocative ideas,
Blonde Roots
is a genuinely original, profoundly imaginative novel.
