As I was reading the book, I found it to be an undeniably heavy and justified scrutiny of Puritan America, slavery, and the patriarchy, and it forced me to really analyze what I knew about the story of Tituba and the Crucible. However, when reading the afterward and the interview with the author at the end of the book, I gathered that this book was mostly written to be satirical and overdramatized to poke fun at what people believe these experiences to truly be like.
The book was phenomenal, I think it would be beneficial to reread, knowing what the objective of this book was, just so I can try wrap my head around it.
Really well done!
