Blog Post on Blonde Roots

I recently read Blonde Roots and I did not really like the book. The plot of the book was about if white people were enslaved and black people were the masters. The Earth was completely different, and black culture was all over the world. While the basic ideas of slavery were the same, I felt that there were differences in the way real slavery in the past and the way it was presented in the book.
In the book, the story was told in two views, split into parts. The first was of a slave girl, who tries to escape from slavery many times. The second view is from a black man and his experience meeting the "primitive" Europeans and his takes as he becomes a slaver. Even though the idea of a book like this is very intriguing, the actual book wasn't that good. The end was very uncompleted, and the end of the book felt like the middle, with many things still unanswered. The fact that they included the slavers opinion wasn't very necessary, since it took you half the book to realize who it was.
The main characters name was Doris, and she came from England. She talked about her experience living there and how happy she was. This reminds me of primary source documents that tell the life of a slave.  They had to go on a awful ship voyage, and the treatment of slaves was mostly the same. There seemed to be a modern twist on it, people eating foods that did not seem that old. And you never knew the year, so to me it rose up some questions. Would blacks have ended slavery? How would this happen? How would the world be different? Slavery has affected everyone and still affects people today. People still think about when we enslaved people and I think no one truly got over that.
Honestly, in my opinion this book was okay, but I wouldn't really recommend it.
