"Tobacco and its Use in Africa," part of the Fieldiana Popular Series, Anthropology, no. 29, explores the history and cultural significance of tobacco across the African continent. Written by Ralph Linton, Wilfrid Dyson Hambly, and Berthold Laufer, this study, first published in 1929, delves into the diverse ways tobacco has been integrated into various African societies. From its ritualistic applications to its social and economic roles, the book examines the plant's impact on different cultures.
The authors draw on extensive research to present a comprehensive overview, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the anthropology of Africa and the global history of tobacco use. This detailed account provides insights into the interactions between cultures and the adoption and adaptation of foreign commodities. A significant contribution to anthropological studies, this book remains relevant for its detailed documentation of historical practices.
