It's a good book, it took me by surprise. I expected some french book whitewashing colonization, but it truly caught the charade of “the civilized”. I understand why it's a book given in school to 10 year olds, it underlines the main contradictions of “land discovery”, a great introduction to questioning this narrative, however the low-ish rating is for the style. It feels very much like i'm reading a book written for ten year olds lol.
