Discourse on Colonialism by Aimé Césaire
informative
4.75
This was short, but intense and full of information. This is a searing indictment of colonization that digs into texts from Europeans (and Americans) in many different roles to illustrate the loss of humanity needed to enact colonialism. This printing also included an introduction that gave some good background on Césaire and some of his influences (and people he influenced) as well as an interview with him. Both go into other aspects of Césaire's work that were touched on in Discourse on Colonialism, but were not the main focus. They framed the piece very well and added to the experience. While I do wish I had more context for some of the philosophical jargon that I was less familiar with, but that just gives me reason to go back and re-read it later.

This was adorable! Enemies to lovers, fake marriage, and co-parenting -- but make it supernatural. I wanted more, but it was a joy to read.
