Kindred By Yaszek Analysis

Yaszek speaks highly about the futuristic history Butler narrates in terms of the racial and gender discrimination. She writes about the shift of the protagonist’s gender, the significant impact of slavery and the meeting of alien other. The gender of the protagonist is switched as the female figure can better recount the misery of slavery, especially for black women.
