Rice in the Time of Sugar: The Political Economy of Food in Cuba
Louis A. Perez Jr.
In this history of Cuba, Louis Perez proposes a new Cuban counterpoint: rice, a staple central to the island's cuisine, and sugar, which dominated an export economy 150 years in the making. Perez shows how the logic of the sugar trade resulted in the development of an agriculture for consumers abroad at the expense of consumers at home.
