Sugar cane has long been one of the world's most important cash
crops, and the sugar cane industry can be regarded as one of the
world's oldest industries. The industry involves three basic
processes: the cultivation of cane, the milling of the cane to
extract the juice and the rendering of the juice into crystal
sugar. This book is a geography of the sugar cane industry from its
origins to 1914. It describes the spread of the industry from India
into the Mediterranean during medieval times, across to the
Americas in the early years of European colonization, and its
subsequent diffusion to most parts of the tropics. It examines
changes in agricultural techniques over the centuries, the
significance of improvements in milling and manufacturing
techniques, and the role of the industry through its demand for
labor in forming the multicultural societies of the tropical world.
It is the first authoritative study of the development of the
industry, in English, in forty years.
