It belongs. I had never heard of hill rice before, just like I had never heard of many of the pinpoints on the decolonialatlas map.

Thanks for the link, Missy.

Yep. What you said.

Yep. What you said.

The liberal scholar, who sent me the link in the first place, calls it the 'unbraiding of histories'. Her focus is on the indigenous of North America, but she has traveled as far away as New Zealand to learn...stuff. She is not a historian, but, hopefully, by May she will be a Dr. of Anthropology.

I'm not entirely sure if this

I'm not entirely sure if this NYT piece I read today fits here, but it feels like it does. It's a fascinating article about rice ... a specific thought-lost grain and it's West African lineage.

P.S.

I find interesting on the "About" page:

Because decolonization is a process of unlearning and rediscovering, we’re especially committed to indigenous language revitalization through toponymy – the use of place names.

This is one reaction to globalization that I find interesting, it is almost like a new interpretation of the "rainbow" thing, trying to revive lots of cultural alternatives rather than promote assimilation into one world culture. Libertarian conservatives into "one world" conspiracies should be on board but they are not, rather they often ridicule liberal scholars trying to save and protect different ways of living. This is the "go local as much as you can" thing.

Thanks for the link. The map

Thanks for the link. The map will be filled as academics and regular citizens are drawn to the site.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

No, it wasn't, rmrd. In fact, none of the links and excerpts I quoted showed up in the post. I will redo and post. Thanks for responding.
