@maxknowsthefacts: Finding books covers that were TikTok appropriate was a challenge, this book is grim. #BookTok #agathachristie #andthentherewerenone #colonialism #englishteacher
💚 I read it as a kid as “And then there were none” and it said aka “Ten little Indians”. I only learned earlier this year about the original title. I thought it was a good mystery. As a kid, I missed the social commentary. I think itnis time for a reread. Thank you!

I started collecting versions of this book and actually came across a copy of Ten Little Indians at a Hospice Thrift Store ... fantastic read regardless of the underlying message

Where are you getting the idea that A Christie was trying to critique colonialism? I think she was p on record for being right wing. So her writing the ten little n words poem is not a commentary on racism, she’s just being racist.

I did this play many years ago! Very interesting fact is that the book, play, and movie all end differently.

This book drove me crazy because it is written as internal POVs of each character… including the murderer…. Who never thinks about all the murdering they are doing until the big reveal. Feels like cheating to me but I gather that’s just a convention of the genre.

Regarding the casual racism in this book, I think it’s important to remember that it is the characters themselves who express these opinions (through their own mental pov), and that, by definition, none of them are good people. Every single one of them has a disregard and disrespect for life, and Christie uses the open 3rd person perspective to establish everyone’s disregard for the lives of others, before we even know they’re killers.

Have not read the book, but read about it a bunch. It strikes me as one of those fairly good intentioned early critiques by ⚪️ppl on their own social prejudices. But also is full of smaller micro-aggressions &”polite” ras1sm. Which is part of why I think it does endure more than others: it’s a great time capsule as long as we recognize how problematic it also is

OMG I don’t understand why calling a Native American and Indian is racist because my grandfather had an apartment and the person living below him was Native American and he said that he wanted to be called an Indian and not a native American and was not offended by it

So I haven’t read it- in Agatha Christies original is the idea that these wealthy and presumably white ppl are called that word because that’s what they called the ppl they enslaved and mistreated?
