{"product_id":"steeped-in-heritage-sarah-fleming-ives-9780822369936","title":"Steeped in Heritage: The Racial Politics of South African Rooibos Tea","description":"South African rooibos tea is a commodity of contrasts. Renowned for its healing properties, the rooibos plant grows in a region defined by the violence of poverty, dispossession, and racism. And while rooibos is hailed as an ecologically indigenous commodity, it is farmed by people who struggle to express \"authentic\" belonging to the land: Afrikaners, who espouse a \"white\" African indigeneity, and \"coloureds,\" who are characterized either as the mixed-race progeny of \"extinct\" Bushmen or as possessing a false identity, indigenous to nowhere. In \u003ci\u003eSteeped in Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e Sarah Ives explores how these groups advance alternate claims of indigeneity based on the cultural ownership of an indigenous plant. This heritage-based struggle over rooibos shows how communities negotiate landscapes marked by racial dispossession within an ecosystem imperiled by climate change and precarious social relations in the postapartheid era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Fleming Ives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822369931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822369936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018","brand":"Sarah Fleming Ives","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926542516479,"sku":"9780822369936","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1cde0618-8b39-4d90-a637-3588e523fcaa.jpg?v=1681083650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/steeped-in-heritage-sarah-fleming-ives-9780822369936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
