Bibliotheek intruder

After an encounter with a mistake -confusing her mother tongue and minoritized language, galician, with its dominant oppresive language, spanish, in one specific book- in the Antwerp Universities’ catalog database, Violeta decided to dive into an investigation to assess whether there were more books in the same situation.
This website narrates her intentions, process and results as truthfully as possible.
