The history of the modern world can be described through the
history of the commodities that were produced, traded and consumed,
on an increasingly global scale. The papers presented in this book
show how in this process borders were transgressed, local agents
combined with metropolitan representatives, power relations were
contested and frontiers expanded. Including cases from Asia, Africa
and the Americas, as well as a number of global commodities (sugar,
tobacco, rubber, cotton, cassava, tea and beer), this collection
presents a sample of the range of innovative research taking place
today into commodity history. Together they cover the last two
centuries, in which commodities have led the consolidation of a
globalised economy and society - forging this out of distinctive
local experiences of cultivation and production, and regional
circuits of trade.
