A series of annotated bibliographies details the encounters between the British and people of Ratnabar Island in 1891. When the British people arrive to the Ratnabar Islands, they are shocked by the indigenous people's way of life. The Indigenous people of the Ratnabar Island live in a majority women, matriarchal society and practice cannibalism. The British fear they need to civilize the inhabitants and kidnap an indigenous girl. They rename her Regina Gaur and Gaur is sent to the Churchill Academy. There, she begins to form a friendship, which later turns into a lesbian relationship with Emma Yates. The two girls begin to scheme for a unique feast, and when Emma Yates turns 17, the plan happens. During a feast at their private school, Emma Yates serves pieces of her stewed flesh to a table of her classmates at school. The brutal feast shocks everyone in England and people question why she did it. Some people believe that the Ratnabar women eat flesh in defiance to their oppressors. Rumors stem from the British state that the Ratnabar people eat human meat to gain shapeshifting powers. Even Regina Gaur’s daughter later wonders what Emma Yates was planning. The next series of annotates bibliographies talks about other displaced Indigenous people. One displaced Indigenous person explains how he can’t return to Ratnabar because of his English accent and clothes. Others, like an Indigenous woman named Shalini, want to get along with the British. However, many displaced people of Ratnabar are ready to make their voice heard and resist the British. These annotated bibliographies are submitted by Ranita Gaur, a person who shares the same last name as Regina Gaur, to Professor Blackwood's sociology 402 class. It is not explained why Ranita did this, but it can be inferred that she hopes to educate students on the plight of displaced Ratnabar people.
