Une écologie décoloniale, by Malcom Ferdinand (Paris: Seuil, 2019, paper € 24.50) With our apologies to the authors of books that have not been discussed in these pages for this reason, we simply list them here: ![]() But once again, we express our gratitude to all the reviewers who have, collectively, provided such a rich resource for keeping up with writing on the region.Īt the same time, we must lament the fact that a few of the people who accepted a book and promised to review it have, despite a long series of gentle reminders over the past year or two, never shared their reactions to the book. Covid-19 has continued to affect book reviewing this year, as reviewers whom we had to remind wrote us back saying everything from “I’m stuck in Dakar” or “I crushed my right index finger in an anchor mishap two months ago … typing was problematic for a number of weeks” to “in the midst of the pandemic I fell and broke my leg in two places,” not to mention people’s frequent child-care/remote learning challenges (for some books, we had to identify and ask as many as nine potential reviewers before one agreed) or the difficulties of getting books from publishers to reviewers in pandemic-bombed Brazil.
