Laila Lalami’s historical narrative reimagines the ill-fated 1527 Narváez expedition to Florida through the perspective of Mustafa al-Zamori, an enslaved Moroccan man known as Estebanico. By reclaiming the voice of a figure relegated to the margins of official colonial records, the text interrogates the nature of historical truth and the complexities of survival in the New World.
