Worldwide, plantations are key economic institutions of the modern era. From an environmental perspective, they are also the settings for some of the most powerful, consequential, and frequently destructive modes of production ever to have existed. This volume assembles essays on commodities as diverse as coffee, cotton, rubber, apples, oranges, and tobacco, to provide an overview of plantation systems from Latin America to New Zealand that exposes the many dimensions of environmental history incorporated in these robust institutions. The global history of plantation systems not only highlights the great institutional resilience of our modern monocultures, but also the price that humans and environments have paid for them.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Plantagen sind eine Schlüsselinstitution der Moderne. Zugleich sind sie auch in ökologischer Hinsicht eines der folgenreichsten Produktionsregime überhaupt. Im globalen Ausgriff versammelt der Band Beiträge zu so unterschiedlichen Produkten wie Kaffee, Kautschuk, Baumwolle und Äpfeln. Dabei geht es gleichermaßen um Einblicke in unterschiedliche Plantagensysteme - von Lateinamerika bis Neuseeland - wie um exemplarische Einsichten in die vielfältigen Dimensionen der Umweltgeschichte der Plantage. Die Aufsätze dokumentieren die bemerkenswerte Beharrungskraft moderner Monokulturen - aber auch den Preis, den Menschen und Umwelten dafür zahlen müssen. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9783593500287
