On Columbus, the Caribbean, and the Origins of the Climate Crisis by Tao Leigh Goffe
On Columbus, the Caribbean, and the Origins of the Climate Crisis by Tao Leigh Goffe
US$20.00

RWL Text for Mango Season: July - September

Dark Laboratory locates the origins of racial capitalism, ecological extraction, and climate crisis not in Europe's industrial centres but in the plantation.

Goffe defends the Caribbean as the original site of modernity's experiments in land, labour, and disposability. Tao Leigh Goffe's work sits at the intersection of Black studies, environmental humanities, and Caribbean intellectual tradition, and gives us the theoretical language to name what the earth in this region has always known: that climate crisis is not a future threat but an ongoing colonial inheritance.

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R. F. Kuang
Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R. F. Kuang
US$30.00

August 2025 Book Club Pick

A historical fantasy epic that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British Empire

Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. The tower and its students are the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver-working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as the arcane craft serves the Empire's quest for colonization.

For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide
