For over a century, plant specialists worldwide have sought to transform healing plants from
African countries into Pharmaceuticals. And for equally as long, conflicts over these medicinal
plants have endured, from stolen recipes and toxic tonics to unfulfilled promises of laboratory
equipment and usurped personal patents. In Bitter Roots,
Abena
Dove Osseo-
Asare
draws
on publicly available records and extensive interviews with scientists and healers in Ghana.
Madagascar, and South Africa to interpret how African scientists and healers, rural commu¬
nities, and drug companies
—
including Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Unilever
—
have
sought since the 1880s to develop drugs from Africa s medicinal plants.
Osseo-Asare recalls the efforts to transform six plants into Pharmaceuticals: rosy
periwinkle, Asiatic pennywort, grains of paradise, Strophanthus,
Cryptoíepis,
and Hood-
ia. Through discussions of each plant, she shows that herbal medicine and pharmaceutical
chemistry have simultaneous and overlapping histories that cross geographic boundaries.
At the same time, Osseo-Asare sheds new light on how various interests have tried to man¬
age the rights to these healing plants and probes the challenges associated with assigning
ownership to plants and their biochemical components.
A fascinating examination of the history of medicine in colonial and
postcolonial
Africa,
Bitter Roots will be indispensable for scholars of Africa; historians interested in medicine, bio¬
chemistry, and society; and policy makers concerned with drug access and patent rights.
By choosing to investigate colonial and
postcolonial
science through scientific work with
plant medicines.
Abena
Dove Osseo-Asare deepens our understanding of the power relations
not only between African and European or American scientists but also between healers
and these indigenous and foreign scientists. Her detailed account of transnational scientific
collaborations will be a lasting contribution to the field of science studies.
STACÉY
LANGWtCK, Cornell University
Bitter Roots is a book for our times; an age of bioprospecting and biopiracy, with hope for
partnerships bringing bioprosperity.
Abena
Dove Osseo-Asare s
remarkable investigations
clarify both the facts and the issues through the example of how the roots of several plants
associated with Africa have been used, studied, and remade. She notes the slippery entan¬
glements between traditional and scientific practices and, in the process, stalks not only
knowledge but justice. Informative, bold, and sensitive.
