GINSENG ROOTS
Follows Craig Thompson and his siblings--who spent the summers of their youth weeding and harvesting rows of coveted American ginseng on rural Wisconsin farms for one dollar an hour--and interweaves this lost youth with the three-hundred-year history of the global ginseng trade and the many lives it has tied together. Stretching from Marathon, Wisconsin, to northeast China, [the book] charts the rise of industrial agriculture, the decline of American labor, and the search for a sense of home in a rapidly changing world.
