Kindred — Slavery, Survival, and Structural Inheritance (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Kindred by Octavia E. Butler as a systems-level analysis of how domination and survival are reproduced across generations.
By focusing on structure rather than individual cruelty, the book reveals how violence, dependency, and lineage stabilize systems of oppression — and why their consequences remain present long after the institutions themselves are said to be gone.
