Yes,it’s a lusty book but at its heart it’s about perseverance in the face of colonial oppression AND the lingering mindset.This is no slave and master romance. It’s I won’t be a slave or mastered by anything or anyone. We determine our worth even in the midst of erasure. Malinalli deserved to live

Come to this! @pamplemoussepam.bsky.social is a fabulous speaker and who doesn't want a bit of spontaneous combustion on a gloomy Thursday night?!!!
Did Victorians believe heavy drinking caused spontaneous human combustion?
Dr Pam Lock @pamplemoussepam.bsky.social is going to enlighten us on this rather unusual subject, on Thursday 16th October at Glenside Hospital Museum, and we can't wait!
