Alex Levine’s Reviews > Die letzte Kolonie – Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit im Indischen Ozean: Ausgezeichnet mit dem Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels > Status Update

So far somewhat disappointing. 70 pages in already agreeing with Yuan Yi Zhu that Sands is reifying homogenizing, in essence “colonial” national projects in his effort to decolonize. The Chagos are arguably a side-show, which he idealizes as almost antediluvian paradise pre-British displacement. Despite his claim to center their voices, more attention is on international legal personalities than Chagossians.
