- Authors
Whiteside, Briana
- Abstract
A literary criticism by Briana Whiteside explores Octavia E. Butler's novel "Fledgling" as a resistance narrative, focusing on the use of the vampire figure to examine historical harm and silencing of Black women. Topics include the portrayal of the vampire as a vehicle to challenge societal dominance, the racial tensions and anxieties surrounding the protagonist's mixed-race identity, and the exploration of memory gaps and healing.
