I reviewed @alexcuadros.bsky.social's anti-Rousseau portrait of how one indigenous group entered the illegal diamond trade (for better or worse).

The rampant deforestation of the Amazon has the potential to be one of the most devastating policy failures in human history. In his new book, alexcuadros.bsky.social enriches our understanding of why it’s so hard to arrest the damage. My review for @newrepublic.com t.co/GTzUCHAXXE

Excellent review of a brilliant new book by @alexcuadros.bsky.social on the improbable story of Brazil's Cinta Larga people on whose lands some of the world's richest deposits of diamonds were discovered in the mid-20th century. Gripping read.
What's it like to have your world invaded by an alien society? What happened when a smart, ambitious indigenous man in the Amazon sought economic success for his people? When We Sold God's Eye is powerful & revealing. My review in @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/1...
Review | Outsiders beat a path to this Brazilian paradise. Mass death ensued.
In “When We Sold God’s Eye,” Alex Cuadros tells a modern story of invasion and tragedy in the Amazon.

Half way through @alexcuadros.bsky.social's forthcoming When We Sold God’s Eye. It is very good indeed, a picture of Brazil really, all the crime and beauty, but through indigenous eyes. A taster here: www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...
