Nadra Hashim is reviewer for the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development.
Hashim has written a useful overview of global hemp production from
antiquity to the present, including the current public policy
controversies in the United States. . . . Readers interested in
hemp production as it relates to labor, manufacturing, and
marketing worldwide, with an emphasis on the United States, will
find this study a good place to begin.
This book is a readable and important history of the uneven rise
and fall of hemp farming and production in the United States.
Hashim skillfully situates hemp in the larger political, economic,
and labor worlds that determined its fate as both a viable crop for
American farmers and a marketable resource in the world economy.
