Product placement

A decolonial feminism (book): acts - it is being discussed and recommended as a source of information on decolonial feminism. Removing it would change the video's focus. Françoise Vergès (author): appears - mentioned as the author of the book. Removing her name would not change the video's content, but would remove context for the book.

Call to action

I would definitely recommend for you to read this one
