Episode 1
Rüya Erdoğan and Mirjam Wolting discuss Bernardine Evaristo's 'Blonde Roots'. Evaristo’s 2008 novel reverses the roles in the narrative of slavery, placing Africans as masters and Europeans as slaves through a fictional story of Doris, a white girl from England who is abducted and shipped to the fictional United Kingdom of Great Ambossa.
