Review Quotes
R. Berleant-Schiller, University of Connecticut | Choice
“This collection covers a diversity of plantation crops, plantation systems, global locations, and time periods. It nevertheless coheres around the themes of environmental history and environmental factors within plantation history, thus contributing both to plantation studies and environmental history. . . . The volume reinforces the tradition of scholarship that recognizes the plantation as one of the economic and institutional foundations of the modern world, but also adds a dimension of environmental history and context and supplies material for comparison and synthesis. . . . Recommended.”
