About this product

Product Information

Native to the Kalahari Desert, Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant known by generations of Indigenous San peoples to have a variety of uses: to reduce hunger, increase energy, and ease breastfeeding. In the global North, it is known as a natural appetite suppressant, a former star of the booming diet industry. In Reinventing Hoodia, Laura Foster explores how the plant was reinvented through patent ownership, pharmaceutical research, the self-determination efforts of Indigenous San peoples, contractual benefit sharing, commercial development as an herbal supplement, and bioprospecting legislation. Using a feminist decolonial technoscience approach, Foster argues that although patent law is inherently racialized, gendered, and Western, it offered opportunities for Indigenous San peoples, South African scientists, and Hoodia growers to make unequal claims for belonging within the shifting politics of South Africa. This radical interdisciplinary and intersectional account of the multiple materialities of Hoodia illuminates the co-constituted connections between law, science, and the marketplace, while demonstrating how these domains value certain forms of knowledge and matter differently.

    Good priced new book, still in original plastic wrapper. Slight delay in delivery but sorted out quickly by the seller and then arrived within a couple of days. Very helpful communication. I will buy from this seller again if they have another book I am looking for. Thank you Andrew for your help in this. Trevor.

    As described and as delivered. No issues, no quibbles, no fuss. I can't say anything about the seller individually as I never needed to contact them. I suppose that tells you everything you need to know. Nothing to see here so carry on and order in my opinion.
