Stick to Shakespeare, lmao. Broad claims. Random evidence. Bizarre plethora of French texts in a world colonized principally by the Spanish and Portuguese, gee I wonder why. Typically postmodern unwillingness to engage with contents of text results in woke-stamping his fixation on Europeans and pardoning his own inability to perceive any Indigenous agency. It’s boring. It’s ‘90s. It’s not his finest work.
