Banana Cultures by John Soluri
Integrates agro-ecology, anthropology, political economy, and history to trace the symbiotic growth of the export banana industry in Honduras and the consumer mass market in the United States. This title examines the tensions between the small-scale growers, who dominated the trade in the early years, and the shippers.
"This is an elegant book, well suited for classroom use, that weaves together environmental, labour and consumer histories..Soluri deftly shows that our national blinders and existing typologies have obscured as much as they have revealed. This excellent book deserves a wide readership."-Cindy Forster, Bulletin of Latin American Research, Vol. 28, No. 2, April 2009
JOHN SOLURI is Associate Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
