Care of the Species: Races of Corn and the Science of Plant Biodiversity. Hartigan Jr, J. University of Minnesota Press, 2017.
abstract   bibtex   
Darwin meets Foucault in this engrossing ethnography of plants, race, and biodiversity Care of the Species contributes to debates about the concept of species through vivid ethnography, examining infrastructures of care—labs and gardens in Spain and Mexico—where plant scientists grapple with the complexities of evolution and domestication. In tackling the racial dimension of efforts to go “beyond the human,” this book reveals a far greater stratum of sameness than commonly assumed.
