# Georges

By Alexandre Dumas.

"Georges" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel published in 1843. Set on Mauritius from 1810 to 1824, it follows Georges, a light-skinned mulatto who can pass for white in French colonial society. After witnessing his father's heroism dismissed due to racism, Georges is sent to France, where he becomes cultured and accomplished. Returning home, he gains society's admiration until his mixed-race identity threatens everything. Confronting the injustices of slavery and colonial prejudice, Georges must choose between acceptance and rebellion in this powerful exploration of race and identity.
