I like how it focuses a lot on the relationships between the colonizers and the colonized and the realistic nature of the colonized trying to explain why the colonizers are causing more problems by interfering than by not interfering, that they shouldn’t even be there in the first place much less trying to change tradition.

I like it even more, I spent more time with it. Insanely good.
