Critic Reviews

“"Shows how the intelligent analysis of the history of a single commodity can be used to pry open the history of an entire world of social relationships and human behavior." - The New York Review of Books "Like sugar, Mintz is persuasive, and his detailed history is a real treat." - San Francisco Chronicle "A fine book. It not only tells a fascinating story, it is also something of an antidote to the static quality of much anthropological writing." -Jack Goody, The New York Times Book Review”
