Flourish Book Club: Kindred, by Octavia Butler

Join us for our annual summer book club as we journey through Octavia Butler's groundbreaking masterpiece, Kindred -- a searing exploration of race, power, and historical trauma told through the journey of Dana, a modern Black woman mysteriously transported to the antebellum South.Our facilitators will invite us into conversation as we consider;

  • Butler's revolutionary blend of speculative fiction and historical narrative

  • The enduring legacies of slavery and their contemporary manifestations

  • Personal and collective responsibility in confronting historical injustice

  • The complex intersections of race, gender, and power across time

Kindred challenges us to reckon with America's painful past while providing pathways toward healing and transformation. Through thoughtful discussion and reflection, we'll explore how Butler's visionary work speaks to our current moment and calls us toward a more just future.
