A distinguished international group of historians, anthropologists, and sociologists examines the production, processing, and marketing of coffee. Using this important commodity as a common denominator and focusing on landholding patterns, labor mobilization, class structure, and political ideologies, the authors examine how Latin American countries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries responded to the growing global demand for coffee.
An important book, not just for scholars of Latin America, but for anyone interested in understanding the ways in which export agriculture impacts society. Journal of Political Economy
