Sunday, December 10, 2017 – Book Club: I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem

Posted on by

Greetings True Believers,

This month’s book will be a modern classic of Caribbean literature, I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem, a stunning novelization of the real-life story of the first woman, an African-American, accused of witchcraft at the infamous Salem Witch Trials.

We’ll be trying out a new location for this month’s meeting, hopefully, something a little quieter, so RSVP and stay tuned!

RSVP HERE!

“This wild and entertaining novel expands on the true story of the West Indian slave Tituba, who was accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, arrested in 1692, and forgotten in jail until the general amnesty for witches two years later. Maryse Condé brings Tituba out of historical silence and creates for her a fictional childhood, adolescence, and old age. She turns her into what she calls “a sort of female hero, an epic heroine, like the legendary ‘Nanny of the maroons,’” who, schooled in the sorcery and magical ritual of obeah, is arrested for healing members of the family that owns her.

CARAF Books:Caribbean and African Literature Translated from French

This book has been supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agencY.”

Binti: Home (2017) by Nnedi Okorafor

“The thrilling sequel to the Nebula-nominated Binti.

It’s been a year since Binti and Okwu enrolled at Oomza University. A year since Binti was declared a hero for uniting two warring planets. A year since she abandoned her family in the dawn of a new day.

And now she must return home to her people, with her friend Okwu by her side, to face her family and face her elders.

But Okwu will be the first of his race to set foot on Earth in over a hundred years, and the first ever to come in peace.

After generations of conflict can human and Meduse ever learn to truly live in harmony?”
