Indian Pale Ale: an Icon of Empire; Alan Pryor -- 3. The Control of Port Services by International Companies in the Macaronesian Islands (1850-1914); Miguel S�urez Bosa -- 4. Of Stocks and Barter: John Holt and the Kongo Rubber Trade, 1906-1910; Jelmer Vos -- 5. Coercion and Resistance in the Colonial Market: Cotton in Britain's African Empire; Jonathan E. Robins -- 6. A Periodisation of Globalisation According to the Mauritian Integration into the International Sugar Commodity Chain (1825-2005); Patrick Neveling -- 7. In Cane's Shadow: Commodity Plantations and the Local Agrarian Economy on Cuba's Mid-nineteenth Century Sugar Frontier; Jonathan Curry-Machado -- 8. Cuban Popular Resistance to the 1953 London Sugar Agreement; Steve Cushion -- 9. Tobacco Growers, Resistance and Accommodation to American Domination in Puerto Rico, 1899-1940; Teresita A. Levy -- 10. The Battle for Rubber in the Second World War: Cooperation and Resistance; William G. Clarence-Smith -- 11. Beyond 'Exotic Groceries': Tapioca-Cassava-Manioc, a Hidden Commodity of Empires and Globalisation; Kaori O'Connor -- 12. 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.
