https://research.reading.ac.uk/global-development/wp-content/uploads/sites/161/2021/04/groundnut.jpg593394To celebrate it's 70th anniversary, the MERL is exploring objections from its collections connected to the year 1951, when the Museum was first established. As part of this project PhD researcher Atenchong Talleh Nkobou of the School of Agriculture, Policy, and Development shares his insights on the Groundnut Film . In this short piece he reflects how the film and the Groundnut Scheme more broadly relates to his current research interests. In particular, he reflects on the significanceof historical representation in contemporary development research and practice, linking this discourse to Black Lives Matter and to decolonising approaches to farm and rural heritage.
