Inventing the Indigenous: Local Knowledge and Natural History in Early Modern Europe
Cooper, Alix (State University of New York, Stony Brook)
Drawing on cultural, social and environmental history, and histories of science and medicine, this book shows how, amidst a growing reaction against exotic imports - whether medieval spices like cinnamon or new American arrivals like chocolate and tobacco - early modern Europeans began to take inventory of their own 'indigenous' natural worlds.
