Jordan Goodman explores the historical transformation of tobacco
from Amerindian shamanism to global capitalism, from the food of
the spirits to the fatal epidemic, from the rough pipe and cigar to
the modern-day cigarette. This scholarly and comprehensive survey
combines up-to-date published work with primary research to provide
a systematic way of understanding current debates from a historical
perspective. Goodman draws on a wide range of disciplines to
present a history that explores larger themes, such as colonialism,
consumerism, medical discourse and multinational enterprise. The
book reveals the complex web of dependence and relationships
surrounding this controversial commodity.
