"Our government has benefited from our land and in doing so they have created an inescapable consequence that our bodies are paying for," writes Anais Makouke in her essay “Karukera”.⁠
⁠
The essay is a love letter, plunging deep into memories from her childhood on the island of Guadeloupe – originally named Karukera, or “the island of beautiful waters”, by the native Arawaks – was colonised in 1493 by Christopher Columbus before being claimed by the French two centuries later.⁠
⁠
Since then, the French government has failed to intervene in an island-wide health crisis caused by a pesticide used from the early 70s to the early 90s on banana crops.⁠
⁠
