Description: Decolonial Care examines the relationship between the legacies of colonialism and the dynamics of caregiving that have emerged from the French Caribbean. Putting in dialogue postcolonial studies and care studies, this book elucidates how caring and uncaring have been historically shaped by colonialism and shows how media and narratives help develop decolonial approaches to care that sustain human life and livable environments.

Review Quotes: "Thoroughly researched, convincingly theorized, and audaciously argued, Decolonial Care is a much-needed interdisciplinary exploration of the uncharted intersection of care and colonialism. Jennifer Boum Make's thought-provoking call to rethink decoloniality and care in the French Caribbean through race, gender, class, enslavement, colonialism, migration, and chlordecone poisoning is a tour de force and an act of care."--Anny-Dominique Curtius "author of Suzanne Césaire: Archéologie littéraire et artistique d'une mémoire empêchée [Suzanne Césa"
