By: Tao Leigh GoffeA groundbreaking investigation of the Caribbean as both an idyll in the American imagination and a dark laboratory of Western experimentation, revealing secrets to racial and environmental progress that impact how we live today.
“Dark Laboratory is a gargantuan, soulful work. It obliterates most of what I thought I knew about the Caribbean’s utility to Western Wealth.”
—Kiese Laymon, New York Times bestselling author of Heavy
In 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived on the Caribbean Island of Guanahaní to find an Edenic scene that was soon mythologized. But behind the myth of paradise, the Caribbean and its people would come to pay the price of relentless Western exploitation and abuse. In Dark Laboratory, Dr. Tao Leigh Goffe embarks on a historical journey to chart the forces that have shaped these islands: the legacy of slavery, indentured labor, and the forced toil of Chinese and enslaved Black people who mined the islands’ bounty—including guano, which, at the time, was more valuable than gold—for the benefit of European powers and at the expense of the islands’ sacred ecologies.
Braiding together family history, cultural reportage, and social studies, Goffe radically transforms how we conceive of Blackness, the natural world, colonialism, and the climate crisis; and, in doing so, she deftly dismantles the many layers of entrenched imperialist thinking that shroud our established understanding of the human and environmental conditions to reveal the cause and effect of a global catastrophe. Dark Laboratory forces a reckoning with the received forms of knowledge that have led us astray.
Through the lens of the Caribbean, both guide and warning of the man-made disasters that continue to plague our world, Goffe closely situates the origins of racism and climate catastrophe within a colonial context. And in redressing these twin apocalypses, Dark Laboratory becomes a record of the violence that continues to shape the Caribbean today. But it is also a declaration of hope, offering solutions toward a better future based on knowledge gleaned from island ecosystems, and an impassioned, urgent testament to the human capacity for change and renewal.

Smooth, painless, and perfect for travel!
Color: White
I’ve tried a few different bikini trimmers over the years, and this one is honestly one of my favorites. It’s super easy to use, doesn’t pull or irritate my skin, and leaves everything feeling smooth without razor burn. I love that it comes with multiple attachments so I can use it for my bikini area, underarms, and even quick touch-ups on my face.
The display is a nice bonus because I can actually see the battery level, and the USB charging makes it really convenient for travel. It’s lightweight, waterproof, and easy to clean too. Overall, such a great tool for the price!

Beware of Bikini Trimming
Color: White
This shaver is very sharp, On dry skin it shaved my legs so close that it felt as if I had silky smooth legs as if I had used a high quality cream, almost slippery. My underarms however were a little sensitive to deodorant after. I must have misunderstood the description as I thought there was a brow trimmer accessory included, not, just the nose hair trimmer which is ok. Don't really need that, needed the brow trimmer. All this review put together makes me think this was made for men, or trans.

Buy a different one
Color: White
It looks nice but the trimming is garbage. The smaller trimmer l like for eyebrows or close shaving facial hair is worthless. You cannot get close enough nor can you see what you’re doing. You also cannot get right on the edge for precise edges for eyebrows for instance because of how it’s made.
The seller does not allow for simple drop off returns either. Too much of a hassle to print labels and too costly for ups pick up. A waste of $20.
Buy something else.
