El Habano: The Global Luxury Smoke; Jean Stubbs."The history of the modern world can be described through the history of the commodities that were produced, traded and consumed, on an increasingly global scale. The papers presented in this book show how in this process borders were transgressed, local agents combined with metropolitan representatives, power relations were contested and frontiers expanded. Including cases from Asia, Africa and the Americas, as well as a number of global commodities (sugar, tobacco, rubber, cotton, cassava, tea and beer), this collection presents a sample of the range of innovative research taking place today into commodity history. Together they cover the last two centuries, in which commodities have led the consolidation of a globalised economy and society - forging this out of distinctive local experiences of cultivation and production, and regional circuits of trade"--Provided by publisher.Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,2635-1633CommerceHistory19th centuryCase studiesCommerceHistory20th centuryCase studiesCommercial productsHistory19th centuryCase studiesCommercial productsHistory20th centuryCase studiesInternational tradeHistory19th centuryCase studiesInternational tradeHistory20th centuryCase studiesEconomic history19th centuryCase studiesEconomic history20th centuryCase studiesCommerceHistoryCommerceHistoryCommercial productsHistoryCommercial productsHistoryInternational tradeHistoryInternational tradeHistoryEconomic historyEconomic history382HIS001000HIS017000HIS037000HIS038000HIS041000bisacshCurry-Machado Jonathan1699844MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816835003321Global Histories, Imperial Commodities, Local Interactions4082397UNINA
