I think the focus on family seems on point here, especially since we see a focus on transgenerational traumas of various kinds. But your question really frames a “real world” question about families and uses TBE as “evidence,” whereas we need a question that finds evidence to apply to what TBE is doing *as a text*. So, something like “how does TBE represent families? How do traumas inflicted by a white “gaze” play out within Black families in the text? What is the role of gender in these family dynamics?”
