lupine 's review for:

Islands of Decolonial Love by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

5.0

This would be a good book to read in my hand rather than an audiobook. The short stories are sometimes vivd, sometimes blurry and I dont know how to process them sometimes. There were also a lot of repitition in words and sentences that caught me off guard if I accidentally rewinded. But maybe for emphasis. There was a lot in self perservation because people didn't care about native folks. There was a lot of sadness and anger, aggression and stubborness. Refusal to converse unless absolutely necessary is also something that I do. I think this self-defense is definitely valid. It is a privilege and luxury to be able to talk to other people at will. I think that therapy is100% white saviorism but with the front of women's work. Anyway /: I was trying to relisten but @@ maybe next time.
Epigraph chapter - is the juice. I liked it so far and this is where I'm at. Motherhood, survival, and what does being alive mean? I wish i had the words in front of me. maybe we should throw a bomb at the pipelines and telescopes because i hate it there. i hate all of them. >:(
