The first comprehensive study of cross-cultural plant knowledge in eighteenth-century Mauritius, Creolised Science explores how plants and practices adapted to a new environment and a new socio-cultural space. By foregrounding neglected non-European actors from both Africa and Asia, Brixius creates a truly global history of botanical knowledge.
