"Feeding the Ghosts" as a Revisionist Historical Novel

More about the book

Exploring the historical tragedy of the Zong Massacre in 1781, this novel by Fred D'Aguiar presents a fragmented narrative rather than a linear historical account. Through a postcolonial lens, it intertwines imaginative elements with factual history, highlighting the deaths of 131 Africans caused by British slave traders. The work serves as an "as-if-testimony," reflecting on the gaps in historical documentation and the complexities of representing slavery, making it a significant contribution to the genre of historical fiction.
