Table of ContentsReviewsBitter Roots is a book for our times: an age of bioprospecting and biopiracy, with hope for partnerships bringing bioprosperity. Abena Dove Osseo-Asare's remarkable investigations clarify both the facts and the issues through the example of how the roots of several plants associated with Africa have been used, studied, and remade. She notes the slippery entanglements between traditional and scientific practices and, in the process, stalks not only knowledge but justice. Informative, bold, and sensitive. --Harold J. Cook, author of Matters of Exchange: Commerce, Medicine, and Science i Author InformationAbena Dove Osseo-Asare is assistant professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley.
