Beschreibung
Claire de Durfort, duchesse de Duras, penned the groundbreaking novel 'Ourika' which delves into themes of race, identity, and societal norms. Set in early 19th century France, the book follows the life of a young Senegalese girl, Ourika, who was adopted by a French family and raised in Paris. Through Ourika's struggles with her racial identity and place in society, de Duras explores the complexities of prejudice and belonging. Written in a poignant and introspective style, 'Ourika' offers a compelling narrative while shedding light on the racial dynamics of the time. The novel provides a unique perspective on the intersection of race and identity in a society that is often unwelcoming to those who are different. In a time when discussions about race and inclusion are more relevant than ever, 'Ourika' remains a timeless and thought-provoking read that will resonate with readers looking to delve into the complexities of human experience.
