Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Steeped in Heritage 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.

Book excerpt: The story of South African rooibos tea unfolds in the margins. Punctuated with rumors of public fights, political corruption, and corporate greed, it is a story about globalization and isolation, neoliberal economic reforms and post-apartheid politics. It is about 'whiteness' and 'colouredness, ' migrants and indigeneity. Finally, it is story of economic marginality and of the ways these tensions were negotiated and experienced in a rural South African community. Yet, significantly, it is also a story about the crop itself, an indigenous plant with particular qualities that make it valuable and intensely political. Based on more than fourteen months of ethnographic research in South Africa's rooibos-growing area between 2009 and 2013, this dissertation explores the social, political, and ecological relations in the farming of rooibos tea. In this project, I engage debates on race, indigeneity, and natural resources in the context of a commodity that is celebrated for its ecological indigeneity and of people who do not fit easily into the category of culturally indigenous: Afrikaners who espouse a white African indigeneity and 'coloured' people, a South African racial category often considered mixed or impure and denied nativity to anywhere. I argue that farmers came to understand rooibos differently as its economic value rose. Formerly viewed as just a wild shrub, rooibos became a culturally significant product through which local residents measured their sense of indigeneity and, more broadly, their claim to belonging in South Africa. At stake in this context was not the conventional scholarly concept of indigeneity as a binary relationship between people and place. Instead, rooibos farmers expressed a more fluid idea of indigeneity based on a triadic relationship between plant, place, and farmer. With the majority of land still in white South Africans' hands and more than a quarter of the population without work, indigenous claims have taken on growing importance as political rallying points and means of economic survival. At the same time, my research examines the ways that connections between race and natural resources have legitimized political, social, and economic hierarchies. Through what I call a 'critical natural history, ' I show how the rooibos landscape is fraught with political and social tensions: it embodies both violent racial histories of dispossession and celebratory narratives of belonging to a beloved ecosystem.

Download or read book A Dark History of Tea written by Seren Charrington Hollins and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at Britain’s storied history with the beloved beverage, including slavery, war, drug smuggling, fortune telling, and the economy’s globalisation. A Dark History of Tea looks at our long relationship with this most revered of hot beverages. Renowned food historian Seren Charrington-Hollins digs into the history of one of the world’s oldest beverages, tracing tea’s significance on the tables of the high and mighty as well as providing relief for workers who had to contend with the ardours of manual labour. This humble herbal infusion has been used in burial rituals, as a dowry payment for aristocrats; it has fuelled wars and spelled fortunes as it built empires and sipped itself into being an integral part of the cultural fabric of British life. This book delves into the less tasteful history of a drink now considered quintessentially British. It tells the story of how, carried on the backs of the cruelty of slavery and illicit opium smuggling, it flowed into the cups of British society as an enchanting beverage. Chart the exportation of spices, silks and other goods like opium in exchange for tea, and explain how the array of good fortunes—a huge demand in Britain, a marriage with sugar, naval trade and the existence of the huge trading firms—all spurred the first impulses of modern capitalism and floated countries. The story of tea takes the reader on a fascinating journey from myth, fable and folklore to murky stories of swindling, adulteration, greed, waging of wars, boosting of trade in hard drugs and slavery and the great, albeit dark engines that drove the globalisation of the world economy. All of this is spattered with interesting facts about tea etiquette, tradition and illicit liaisons making it an enjoyable rollercoaster of dark discoveries that will cast away any thoughts of tea as something that merely accompanies breaks, sit downs and biscuits. Praise for A Dark History of Tea “The author gathers many of the dangerous and morbid events throughout tea history and compiles them into one well-researched book. An entertaining read for anyone looking for interesting tea history.” —Sara Shacket, Tea Happiness
