Our book now has a website! As it was getting hard to keep track of materials around "Creolizing the Modern" @cornellupress.bsky.social, we put them all in one place. Many thanks to Louise Link @uni-freiburg.de! We hope the overview is helpful & a possible teaching resource. creolizingthemodern.com
