Through a variety of media, including novels, graphic narratives, and curatorial discourse, this book explores four key contexts that bring into focus the intersection of care and colonialism: care-focused gender roles; domestic service; nurturing human life and environments; and curation as caring. \u003ci\u003eDecolonial Care\u003c\/i\u003e argues that to imagine caregiving in the context of the French Caribbean means reckoning with intrinsically uncaring practices inherited from colonial rule that show disregard for human life and environments. Putting in dialogue postcolonial studies and care studies, this book first aims to elucidate how caring and uncaring have been historically shaped by colonialism. It then shows how media and narratives about the French Caribbean not only document the damaging impact of colonialism, but also how they help develop decolonial approaches to care that sustain human life and livable environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Boum Make\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978840446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978840447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Jennifer Boum Make","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545916494079,"sku":"9781978840447","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f9d5551-6cd9-4b6d-96c4-fcf68df5d77f.jpg?v=1738183689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonial-care-jennifer-boum-make-9781978840447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
