Coffee beans grown in Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam, or one of the
other hundred producing lands on five continents remain a palpable
and long-standing manifestation of globalization. For five hundred
years coffee has been grown in tropical countries for consumption
in temperate regions. This 2003 volume brings together scholars
from nine countries who study coffee markets and societies over the
last five centuries in fourteen countries on four continents and
across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with a special emphasis on
the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The chapters analyse
the creation and function of commodity, labour, and financial
markets; the role of race, ethnicity, gender, and class in the
formation of coffee societies; the interaction between technology
and ecology; and the impact of colonial powers, nationalist
regimes, and the forces of the world economy in the forging of
economic development and political democracy.
