A social and economic history of khat in Harerge, Ethiopia, as it replaced other cash crops
In the late-19th-century, the main cash crop of Harerge, Ethiopia, shifted from coffee and food crops to khat, a quasi-legal psychoactive shrub. This text examines the demographic, market and political factors behind this change and explores the consequences.
