Rice today is food to half the world's population. Its history is
inextricably entangled with the emergence of colonialism, the
global networks of industrial capitalism, and the modern world
economy. The history of rice is currently a vital and innovative
field of research attracting serious attention, but no attempt has
yet been made to write a history of rice and its place in the rise
of capitalism from a global and comparative perspective. Rice is a
first step toward such a history. The fifteen chapters, written by
specialists on Africa, the Americas, and Asia, are premised on the
utility of a truly international approach to history. Each brings a
new approach that unsettles prevailing narratives and suggests new
connections. Together they cast new light on the significant roles
of rice as crop, food, and commodity, and shape historical
trajectories and interregional linkages in Africa, the Americas,
Europe, and Asia.
