Hi there,Thanks for posting. Heartened to see some very robust discussions on this on Facebook and other social media.
Just a reminder that to avoid downloading directly from the journal website or elsewhere that might potentially send the writer's citations index into the stratosphere...and part of me thinks this might have been the intention..Best wishes CecilyCecily Jones (Dr.)

Thanks Simone for starting this thread, and specific thanks to Joaquin for noting the timely nature of this crit-geog discussion given some of the controversy surrounding state responses to Hurricane Imra's devastation of the Caribbean.
An excellent piece posted yesterday in The Conversion, by fellow geographers Alasdair Pinkerton and Matthew Benwell on Hurricane Imra and British Overseas Territories in an era of #GlobalBritain, should add interest to ongoing discussions. https://theconversation.com/hurricane-irmas-devastation-of-caribbean-territories-piles-pressure-on-strained-relationship-with-uk-83833

Thank you for starting this conversation Simone. I think the timing of the article is particularly relevant. As we speak thousands of Caribbean residents are facing a sort of break down of their societies after the passing of Hurricane Irma. From the British Virgin Islands, San Martin/San Marteen, and Antigua and Barbuda, we are witnessing a humanitarian crisis of massive proportions precipitated by a natural hazard but whose roots lie in the history of colonialism. In fact, the response from the Dutch, British and French metroples has been very poor, which begs the question: Is there really a case for colonialism?

Hi Critters,
just to let y'all know that while we discuss on post-colonialisms and de-colonialisms, people out there make the case for colonialism, in a journal titled Third World.
I ain't sure whether to laugh or cry...
