This was a really interesting and thought provoking listen, wonderfully read by it's authour Subhadra Das. I'm glad I have also bought the hardback edition as it enable me to go back and re-read sections for further consideration. The book covers a wide range of ideas which have served as an introduction to, or expanded a little on, many areas worthy of further consideration and investigation. I found this a perfect primer for who may not have previously considered just how much of our received ideas about western culture and society have been influenced by colonialism and capitalism, and a good insight into the work currently being done attempting to de-colonise our collections, and hopefully, eventually, our way of thinking in many areas of our lives. I look forward to more from this authour and highly recommend this book.
