Although the stories borrow elements from various genres (horror, \u003cbr\u003esuspense, romance, magical realism, etc.), they are linked by an exploration of\u003cbr\u003eidentity and the ways personhood is shaped through interactions with the\u003cbr\u003epeople, places, and belief systems around us.\u003c\/p\u003eUnderpinning the project is\u003cbr\u003ea core tenet: self-definition is fluid, but conflict arises because society\u003cbr\u003eoften fails to keep pace with personal evolution. In each of these stories, the\u003cbr\u003eprotagonists grapple with their understanding of who they are, who and how they\u003cbr\u003elove, and what is ultimately most important to them. In almost every case, \u003cbr\u003ehowever, the quest to know or protect oneself is challenged by an external\u003cbr\u003eforce, resulting in violence, crisis, or confusion, among other outcomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Birthright of Sons\u003c\/i\u003e colors in \"the other\" as\u003cbr\u003ethree-dimensional by highlighting the unique obstacles that marginalized people\u003cbr\u003eface while simultaneously centering their humanity and unearthing universal\u003cbr\u003estruggles and commonalities.
