European accounts of cannabis in Africa--often fictionalized and reliant upon racial stereotypes--shaped widespread myths about the plant and were used to depict the continent as a cultural backwater and Africans as predisposed to drug use. These myths continue to influence contemporary thinking about cannabis. In 'The African Roots of Marijuana' Chris S. Duvall corrects common misconceptions while providing an authoritative history of cannabis as it flowed into, throughout, and out of Africa. Duvall shows how preexisting smoking cultures in Africa transformed the plant into a fast-acting and easily dosed drug and how it later became linked with global capitalism and the slave trade. People often used cannabis to cope with oppressive working conditions under colonialism, as a recreational drug, and in religious and political movements. This expansive look at Africa's importance to the development of human knowledge about marijuana will challenge everything readers thought they knew about one of the world's most ubiquitous plants. 650 0 $a Marijuana $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Marijuana $x History. $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Marijuana $x History. $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Marijuana $x History. $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Cannabis $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Cannabis $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Cannabis $x History. $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Medicinal plants $z Africa $x History. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cannabis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845737 650 7 $a Cannabis $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845748 650 7 $a Marijuana. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009256 650 7 $a Marijuana $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009277 650 7 $a Marijuana $x Therapeutic use. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009281 650 7 $a Medicinal plants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014866 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Duvall, Chris S., author. $t African roots of marijuana $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2019 $z 9781478004530 $w (DLC) 2018053869 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010254.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E84BB9FC69A611EAAA416F0A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
