Markets and the modern world system.Coffee Culture: Local experiences, Global Connections explores coffee as (1) a major commodity that shapes the lives of millions of people; (2) a product with a dramatic history; (3) a beverage with multiple meanings and uses (energizer, comfort food, addiction, flavouring, and confection); (4) an inspiration for humor and cultural critique; (5) a crop that can help protect biodiversity yet also threaten the environment; (6) a health risk and a health food; and (7) a focus of alternative trade efforts. This book presents coffee as a commodity that ties the world together, from the coffee producers and pickers who tend the plantations in tropical nations, to the middlemen and processors, to the consumers who drink coffee without ever having to think about how the drink reached their hands.Routledge series for creative teaching and learning in anthropology.CoffeeSocial aspectsCoffeeHistoryCoffeeHealth aspectsCoffee industrySocial aspectsCoffeeSocial aspects.CoffeeHistory.CoffeeHealth aspects.Coffee industrySocial aspects.394.1/2394.12Tucker Catherine M.936932MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910162823703321Coffee culture2110181UNINA
