Morne Capresse

Gisèle Pineau's novel (referred to in the episode) centers on a leader who returns from France to form a congregation aimed at saving women and land in Guadeloupe, confronting chlordécone pollution and plantation legacies.

The narrative charts both hopeful communal projects and how such communities can reproduce oppressive hierarchies, culminating in catastrophe and the possibility of renewal.

Boum-Maké reads the book as tragic yet containing potential hope, arguing that catastrophe might open possibilities for repair and living after damage.

The novel thus interrogates the limits and possibilities of decolonial care in a contaminated landscape.

Exact edition details were not discussed in the interview.
