6/8/2023 0 Comments The Faithless by C.L. ClarkCherae will help us untangle the murky ethics of their work as we get to grips with the realities and representation of colonialism in modern speculative fiction. Clark, author of The Unbroken and The Faithless. It has become part of the fabric of our identity, so why wouldn’t history also be part of the identities of our characters? But what can we learn from re-imagining and reframing our collective traumas in fiction? It is natural that we recreate our own history in stories of fictional worlds. A colonial mindset shapes not just the colonised but also the coloniser, often in unexpected ways. Together, the two women will have to overcome their enemies, their history, and their heartbreak in order to find a way to secure Lucas power and Touraines freedom. While many such stories are extremely black and white, the realities of colonialism are far murkier. Start a free 30-day trial today and get your first audiobook free.
