Excellent work! I’d also like to flag that, while a good number of articles in the volumes are very good, a few are *insanely* racist. It’s a mixed report and I honestly think analyses like yours are crucial - even more important than the original volumes
Thank you, Ariel! Yes, we're aware of the unfortunate racist bias of the Report in some of the chapters - we will definitely be mindful of calling them out whenever necessary
Great article ! I can't wait to read more from you guys. I went to a private french school in Mauritius (école du nord) and as someone with brown skin, it was a horrible experience - they really teach you that black is bad and white is good.
Thank you! If you haven't read it yet, Ariel Saramandi's "An Education" covers racism in Mauritian private schools (the link is in the source section at the end of the three articles).

I read the essay from Arial a few months ago and I really like it - It's great to see more people talking about those topics.
