Jori Lewis is the author of Slaves for Peanuts: A Story of Conquest, Liberation, and a Crop That Changed History. Jori explores culture, history, environment, economic systems, religion, and slavery in its West African context, opening our eyes to the way the world really has worked & is working still. Jori is masterful story-teller, conveying the facts faithfully, but giving us an experience of the people & events that evokes the same connection and feelings of epic poems, like those of the griots/bards of West Africa tradition. Jori is an environmental journalist who splits her time between Senegal, West Africa, and Illinois, USA, and she is also a contributing editor with Adi Magazine, a literary magazine covering global politics.
