520 1 "In this account of the abuses of indigenous Caribbean
people and African slaves, Schiebinger describes how slave
women brewed the "peacock flower" into an abortifacient to
ensure that they would bear no children into oppression.
Yet, impeded by trade winds of prevailing opinion,
knowledge of West Indian abortifacients never flowed into
Europe. A rich history of discovery and loss, Plants and
Empire explores the movement, triumph, and extinction of
knowledge in the course of encounters between Europeans
and the Caribbean population."--BOOK JACKET.
