There is a difference between retro-futurism and nostalgia-futurism and I am struggling to find either my own, or someone else's words about it.

Its in the difference between looking back at past expectations of the future as a quaint curiosity, and looking back at past expectations of the future and insisting that it is a desirable ideal.

I’m writing a course propsoal for a fellowship, and given that it’s on “Plants and People” I wanted to make sure I had an appropriately global outlook, since it’s not like that’s restricted to any one region. I have a lot of examples related to colonialism (tea, bananas, opium, rubber. . .), but I’d really like to find something that doesn’t involve Europeans or Americans at all. There must, must, must be good stories about plants from other parts of the world! But all of the stories of tulips are about Holland, not Asia. All of the stories about spice trading are about how it affected Europe and Europe affected it (seriously, I found a book about the “three great cities of spice” and it turned out he meant Amsterdam, Venice, and Lisbon). Arg! Rice was important! Tea was important! Spices were important! Potatoes! Breadfruit! Even before Europeans knew any of those things existed!
