The Fruits of Empire is a history of American expansion through the
lens of art and food. In the decades after the Civil War, Americans
consumed an unprecedented amount of fruit as it grew more
accessible with advancements in refrigeration and transportation
technologies. This excitement for fruit manifested in an explosion
of fruit imagery within still life paintings, prints, trade cards,
and more. Images of fruit labor and consumption by immigrants and
people of color also gained visibility, merging alongside the
efforts of expansionists to assimilate land and, in some cases,
people into the national body. Divided into five chapters on visual
images of the grape, orange, watermelon, banana, and pineapple,
this book demonstrates how representations of fruit struck the
nerve of the nation's most heated debates over land, race, and
citizenship in the age of high imperialism.
