Publisher Synopsis
'The production qualities of the book are excellent, the standard of writing is high, and the concepts employed are accessible. There are good references, helpful maps, and plenty of illustrative figures and tables. In particular, there is a substantial and very useful statistical appendix compiled by Mario Samper and Radin Fernando. In short, the editors and their fellow contributors have worked hard to produce a valuable addition to the literature on coffee and development.' The Economic History Review '... any attempt to understand the plight of coffee smallholders should consider the insights offered here.' African Studies Review '... a geographical tour-de-force ...'.
