Black Cherokee (2025)
Sunday, 22 February, 2026
Downing's novel traces the layered inheritance of Black and Cherokee identity through the fictional life of a young girl, Ophelia Blue Rivers. The story is set in the historical town of Etsi, which confronts what the author calls America’s “two original sins” — Black enslavement and Indigenous genocide — and invites readers to reflect on what happens when those histories meet in one body. For me, I was particularly drawn to how the novel processes historical and inter-generational wounds, and what literature means in this context for collective healing.Recommended Reading:Black CherokeeThis podcast is sponsored by Riverside, a professional conference platform for podcasting.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
