Consider Kindred's setting during the time period of the Antebellum South. Not only does Octavia Butler give details about how slavery is a system in which African Americans experience trauma, but she also shows the complex relationships that exist through conflict. How does the author present various dichotomies such as the setting of the 195m Century and the 20m Century, the foil character of Alice to the protagonist Dana, and the significance of Juneteenth vs. the 4th of July? Explain in well-developed paragraphs and use supporting details as textual evidence.
