In the novel "Kindred" by Octavia E. Butler, the protagonist Dana is not a literal slave in the sense of being owned, but she is repeatedly brought back in time to the antebellum South where she is forced to endure the brutalities and dehumanization experienced by slaves. Through this time-traveling mechanism, Butler illustrates the physical and emotional trauma suffered by slaves and the psychological impact it has on Dana.
