And yet you shine : the Kohinoor Diamond, colonization, and resistance / Supriya Kelkar. by Kelkar, Supriya, 1980- Candlewick Press, c2024.

ISBN:  9781536228298 Edition:  First edition. Description:  1 volume : color illustrations ; 22 cm. Summary:  The Kohinoor diamond, one of the most famous diamonds in the world, was stolen from India and fought over throughout centuries of colonial conquest, eventually landing in the hands of British royals who tricked a ten-year-old South Asian monarch into relinquishing it. The diamond was ultimately cut to nearly half its size to suit British beauty standards for the crown jewels and is displayed to this day in the Tower of London museum, a trophy of colonization. Probing, poetic, and shimmering with the colors and patterns of Indian textiles, And Yet You Shine is more than the true story of a precious gem passing hands. The urgent narrative and well-researched afterword invite readers to consider the origins of museum artifacts and all they represent, how history is recorded, and why acknowledging past injustices and power dynamics can shape the world we live in today and ensure a just tomorrow. This vibrant and moving meditation on resiliency invites readers of all backgrounds to decolonize and shine with all their might.
