Tropical Babylons: Sugar and the Making of the Atlantic World, 1450-1680 New edition
Stuart B Schwartz

Nine essays by a multinational group of scholars re-evaluate this so-called ""sugar revolution,"" presenting a revisionist examination of the origins of society and economy in the Atlantic world.
