Bananas, the most frequently consumed fresh fruit in the United States, have been linked to Miss Chiquita and Carmen Miranda, "banana republics," and Banana Republic clothing stores—everything from exotic kitsch, to Third World dictatorships, to middle-class fashion. But how did the rise in banana consumption in the United States affect the banana-growing regions of Central America? In this lively, interdisciplinary study, John Soluri integrates agroecology, anthropology, political economy, and history to trace the symbiotic growth of the export banana industry in Honduras and the consumer mass market in the United States. Beginning in the 1870s when bananas first appeared in the U.S. marketplace, Soluri examines the tensions between the small-scale growers, who dominated the trade in the early years, and the shippers. He then shows how rising demand led to changes in production that resulted in the formation of major agribusinesses, spawned international migrations, and transformed great swaths of the Honduran environment into monocultures susceptible to plant disease epidemics that in turn changed Central American livelihoods. Soluri also looks at labor practices and workers' lives, changing gender roles on the banana plantations, the effects of pesticides on the Honduran environment and people, and the mass marketing of bananas to consumers in the United States. His multifaceted account of a century of banana production and consumption adds an important chapter to the history of Honduras, as well as to the larger history of globalization and its effects on rural peoples, local economies, and biodiversity. |

Honduras is located in the heart of Central America. It is bordered to the south by Nicaragua and El Salvador, and on the west by Guatemala. Although this land has been battered by hurricanes and troubled by human-made problems such as deforestation, it still boasts ancient ruins, lovely islands, bustling towns, and abundant wildlife. This title helps to find out: why the Indian population nearly disappeared during Spanish colonial times; why present-day Honduras is generally more democratic than most of its neighboring countries; how the United States has played a role in Honduran politics since the beginning of the 20th century; what kinds of economic challenges Honduras faces as one of the poorest countries in Central America; and, how Honduras is trying to protect its natural beauty from environmental threats. In addition, in this book you'll find project and report ideas-including enough recipes for an authentic Honduran buffet-a glossary, a list of festivals, organizations to contact for more information, and suggestions for further reading. There's a lot to discover about Honduras today. |
