Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science by Dr. Jessica Hernandez

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.

This book is embarrassingly poorly written, as though it never crossed an editor’s desk at all. It’s incredibly repetitive, and full of generalizations and vague buzzwords. After reading almost a third of it, I haven’t learned anything except that the author is apparently incapable of seeing the world in any terms aside from Indigenous (good) and non-Indigenous (bad). None of the promised thoughts on Indigenous conservation methods have even made an appearance, and at this point I am done reading what feels like an angry book-length undergraduate essay.
