Through ethnographic work with organizations that use plant-based healing and sustainable farming practices in Tanzania, Stacey A. Langwick asks what it means to heal in a toxic world. Expanding on the Kiswahili phrase \u003ci\u003edawa lishe\u003c\/i\u003e, or medicines that feed us, Langwick describes the potency of plant medicines in therapeutic projects that address bodies and environments together. These efforts challenge biomedicine's intense focus on the internal dynamics of biological bodies and its externalization of the modern agricultural, industrial, and land management practices that impact it. \u003ci\u003eDawa lishe\u003c\/i\u003e is not a call to return to the traditional, but an invitation to join contemporary experiments in how we know, use, and govern therapeutic plants. \u003ci\u003eMedicines That Feed Us\u003c\/i\u003e offers alternative ways of living and dying, growing and decaying, composing and decomposing which acknowledge the interdependence of bodily and ecological health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStacey A.
