In Sugar in the Social Life of Medieval Islam Tsugitaka Sato
explores the actual day-to-day life in medieval Muslim societies
through different aspects of sugar. Drawing from a wealth of
historical sources - chronicles, geographies, travel accounts,
biographies, medical and pharmacological texts, and more - he
describes sugarcane cultivation, sugar production, the sugar trade,
and sugar's use as a sweetener, a medicine, and a symbol of power.
He gives us a new perspective on the history of the Middle East, as
well as the history of sugar across the world. This book is a
posthumous work by a leading scholar of Middle Eastern and Islamic
studies in Japan who made many contributions to this field.
