The Political Ecology of Bananas
This study of banana contract farming in the Eastern Caribbean explores the forces that shape contract-farming enterprises everywhere_capital, the state, and the environment. Employing the increasingly popular framework of political ecology, which highlights the dynamic linkages between political-economic forces and human-environment relationships, Lawrence Grossman provides a new perspective on the history and contemporary trajectory of the Windward Islands banana industry.

This collection of essays, cosponsored by The Century Foundation/ Twentieth Century Fund and the International Longevity Cente...
