Ep. #2 | Chantal Spitz: How Do We Reclaim Culture?
Welcome back to another episode! This episode we're discussing "Island of Shattered Dreams" by Chantal T. Spitz, the first ever novel by an indigenous Tahitian writer. Get ready to dive into culture, language, and mistranslations, as Nicole horribly butchers the word ventre.
We realize that we aren't always able to dive too deeply into the topics that come up due to time constraints, so we invite you to bring the discussion to your own life! This episode's starting discussion question is: Is reinvention or reinterpretation of culture negative and can it be avoided? Feel free to discuss with friends and family, or visit our Instagram @boundlessvoicespod to share your thoughts with us!
