PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Elijah Doro is a research fellow at the University of Agder and an environmental historian with an interest in southern Africa. His research on agrarian and environmental histories is inspired by his personal experiences growing up in Zimbabwe's tobacco-farming countryside and participating in the tobacco production economy.
'Motivated by his childhood experiences growing tobacco, Elijah Doro carefully reconstructs the history of tobacco cultivation in Southern Rhodesia and Zimbabwe. The history of the cigarette is an African history and, as Doro deftly shows, it is one that cannot be understood apart from the land, labor, and aspirations of Zimbabweans who have staked their futures-wittingly and unwittingly-on the 'golden crop'.' Sarah Milov, University of Virginia 'Elijah Doro shows us how important historians can be in understanding the slow violence of the Anthropocene. However, he also shows how ordinary men and women survived this new world. This book brings old historiographies into new conversations and is one of the best examples yet of combining political economy and environmental history.' Sandra Swart, Stellenbosch University
