Beyond the Trees– Episode 1 of the KEA Podcast

Posted on December 14, 2022 by emilymagiera

This podcast produced by KEA elaborates on the injustices and discrimination found in the Booker Prize nominated novel The Trees by Percival Everett. Even though we have not finished the book, we dug into the themes of racism and stereotypes by elaborating on the fitting book title which encompasses the diverse forms of injustice. The stereotypes mentioned in this podcast help to highlight the discrimination and misogyny that is prevalent in society today. Percival Everett’s satirical angle functions to stress how normalized and problematic racism is in our culture.
