One of the things I enjoyed most during my PhD research was witnessing some of my interlocutors translating their lives (and my research) into music. I am glad the article is finally out in Ethnography.

Narratives about the debt crisis in Global South countries typically present it as a technical issue or the fault of “corrupt” or “incompetent” governments.
This intentionally erases colonialism in creating Global South debt, & how it is utilised as a form of neo-colonialism.
