"Because of its long-term comparative nature, The Banana should become obligatory reference to those studying the political economy of the banana industry during the twentieth century."-Marcelo Bucheli, EH.net "The Banana provides an exceptionally clear, informative, and comprehensive account of the banana's place in history. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in this important commodity, globalization, trade disputes, and the histories of Latin America and the Caribbean."-Steve Striffler, Journal of Latin American Geography "For those interested in understanding the contemporary configuration of an industry that is truly global in its reach, The Banana is an excellent place to start."-Mark Moberg, Hispanic American Historical ReviewMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
