Nutmeg’s Reference to Other Authors
Preparation: As well as being a writer, clearly Ghosh loves reading other people’s work. In “The Nutmeg’s Curse,” he frequently incorporates other authors’ ideas into his book. Sometimes he puts the author’s name directly in the text. Other times he includes an end note. An end note is a little superscript number at the end of a sentence; if you to go the Notes section near the end of the book, you can find that number in the chapter, and it gives you more information about where the information Ghosh is engaging with is from.
Choose one reference to another author that sounds interesting to you from the chapters we have read so far (Chapters 1-9). Look in the Notes and/or the Bibliography at the end of Ghosh’s book to find the citation for that author’s work. Then look it up on the UB Library website (https://library(dot)buffalo(dot)edu/) to see if it is freely available to you or if you would need to ask the library to get it for you. (You do not need to actually get the book or article! I just want you to see how much is available to you!)
What to write and turn in for this assignment:
Quote Ghosh where he describes the other author’s work (properly using quotation marks and a parenthetical citation.)
Write out the citation for the reading from the author. (You can type it up in the format given in Ghosh’s bibliography.)
Paste the permanent link to the source in the UB Library. If it appears that the library does not give you access to this source, describe the steps you used to search for it.
In a short paragraph, explain why this author’s idea caught your interest. And explain how their work fits into Ghosh’s book.
Word limit: 400 words maximum.

Nutmeg’s Reference to Other Authors
“It is no accident that many of these sacrifice zones have been disproportionately affected by the planetary crisis in its many guises: the Navajo nation, for instance, was besieged by wildfires at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, in July 2020” (Ghosh, 2021). This quote is derived from chapter five of Ghosh’s reading. Ghosh is referencing an article by Cody Nelson on how wildfires affected the Navajo nation during the covid-19 pandemic. The citation for the article is- Cody Nelson, “Navajo Nation Faces Twin Threats as Wildfires Spread during Pandemic,” Guardian, July 6, 2020, /us -news/2020/jul/06/arizona-wildfires-coronavirus-navajo-nation.

The author's idea caught my attention because it lays bare the widespread injustice in our modern society. Ghosh's work sheds light on how injustice has been perpetrated against human beings and...
