Phenomenal writing. I loved all the facts about plastics that were given in context to how colonial study practices have skewed results and reporting. I really enjoyed hearing more about how researchers can be more respectful of land and Land. Just incredibly well done all around and I will be highly recommending to all of my family and friends!

An important conversation in an inaccessible format.

Excellent book. I think anyone doing any type of research would benefit from it not just environmental and Indigenous researchers.

One of the most thought provoking and contemplative books I have read with really interesting insights into the tensions between anticolonial sciences and the academy/mainstream sciences. 

A different discupline than my own, but the framing and ways of looking at l/Land and obligations are broadly applicable as a starting point regardless.

Both about pollution and the way scientific research is done. Beautifully separates decolonization work from that of feminism and other advocacy research forms.

really loved the way this talked about obligations and relations and the necessarily different ways to reconcile the two, and overall how to remain respectful to communities and how L/land relations are everywhere within science
