Plucked from tropical America, the pineapple was brought to
European tables and hothouses before it was conveyed back to the
tropics, where it came to dominate U.S. and world markets.
"Pineapple Culture "is a dazzling history of the world's tropical
and temperate zones told through the pineapple's illustrative
career. Following Gary Y. Okihiro's enthusiastically received
"Island World: A History of Hawaii and the United States, Pineapple
Culture "continues to upend conventional ideas about history,
space, and time with its provocative vision. At the center of the
story is the thoroughly modern tale of Dole's "Hawaiian" pineapple,
which, from its island periphery, infiltrated the white,
middle-class homes of the continental United States. The transit of
the pineapple brilliantly illuminates the history and geography of
empires--their creations and accumulations; the circuits of
knowledge, capital, labor, goods, and the cultures that
characterize them; and their assumed power to name, classify, and
rule over alien lands, peoples, and resources.
