reviewed Plants and Empire: Colonial Bioprospecting in the Atlantic World on April 27, 2020 Plants and Empire: Colonial Bioprospecting in the Atlantic World
An excellent book on the interrelationship between botany and empire - particularly in regards to the "peacock flower" of the Caribbean, which was used as an abortifacient by both Indigenous and African slave women. Schiebinger delves into the world of "agnotology" (culturally induced ignorance) in exploring how the peacock flower was known and not-known in the colonial era.
