From the millions of smallholder peasants cultivating tuber plants to the teams of scientists mapping potato genomic information to the industrial manufacturers selecting the best varieties for producing French fries, life unfolds in a tuber-enabled environment. This book describes the many different forms of \"tuberous association\"—the patterns of production, kinship, collaboration, resistance, feeding, and care that arise from and are made possible by tuberous partnerships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTubers are vital partners, or allies, that support life within autonomous collectives and at the same time are entwined in the extractive practices of colonization, land enclosure, and plantation—facts that reveal the complexity and contingency of vegetal politics. To explore this complexity, the contributors to this book consider an array of tuberous bodies, such as cassava, taro, yam, potato, and sweet potato, to draw out the subtleties and textures of human-tuber companionship in all their startling diversity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy considering tubers not only as a \"product\" or \"staple,\" but also as partners, kin, and ancestors—as lifeforms grafted to our own—the authors argue for a nuanced understanding of tuberous politics, economies, and ecologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olivia Ange, David Nally\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780300281774\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20260620\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43541991161917,"sku":"9780300281774","price":93.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780300281774.jpg?v=1788301126","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/yale-agrarian-studies-series","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
