Sobering book (right after the holiday especially), but a necessary read. It delves into the devastation imperialism wrought upon most of the non-European world, arguing that instead of just “resource extraction” and “religious conversion,” European powers intended on native “extermination,” paving the ideological way for the Holocaust. Read this after watching the HBO series it inspired (same title, dir. Raoul Peck). Highly recommend both!

#MiaCat is way more interested in the exterminator spraying outside than in greeting his tired mommy! 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I bet he would be all over @WanderingBookaneer — he‘s her firstborn and favorite child!) #CatsofLitsy
