INTRODUCTION

Gabriel’s Trial seeks to touch upon issues concerning history and identity, examining the excesses of colonialism through the perspective of an enslaved Gabriel who oscillates between multiple identities and regimes of surveillance. The story of Gabriel’s life, enriched by those he met along the way, showcases the challenges of identity, the harsh realities of slavery and colonialism, and the enduring human spirit’s fight for freedom and self-identity.
