Histoires Mythiques Apr 21, 2025

Je serais contente d'avoir un point de vue de personne concernée sur le roman Les Marrons de Houat - d'un côté, premier roman réunionnais datant de 1844, parlant de l'esclavage, avec des héros esclaves noirs, par un auteur "own voice" ; de l'autre, un bouquin qui commence par du dialogue "réaliste" d'esclaves noirs qui semble taper dans pas mal de clichés, et clairement qui s'adresse au public lettré et blanc de l'époque.
Thoughts?

Where’s Kitty Cary? The answer unlocked Black history Richmond tried to hide.

A Texas woman discovered an ancestor named Kitty Cary who died while enslaved. Tracking her to Richmond revealed what could be the largest African burial ground in the country.

An interesting part of our #history we can't forget, but we should move from it, taking the necessary steps so it doesn't repeat itself!!
Someone help me understand how much those figures will be in today's money🤣😅
