The blending of genres in "Kindred" allows the author to juxtapose contemporary life with the brutal realities of slavery, creating a vivid and relatable context for exploring themes of power, freedom, and fate. This combination enhances character development, as the protagonist's time-traveling experiences force her to confront her own heritage and the impact of history on personal identity.
