Description: The Oxford Handbook of Commodity History features contributions from scholars involved in the field's development across a range of countries and linguistic regions. Each of the handbook's thirty-one chapters focuses on an important theme within commodity history: essential approaches, global histories, modes of production, people and land, environmental impact, consumption, and new methodologies.
Review Quotes: "The editors and publisher should be congratulated for demonstrating the broad diversity of commodity history in this collection. The huge variety of analytical approaches and evidentiary presentation in this handbook should remind everyone of the value of historical study of how connected all humans across the globe have been and remain." -- J. Rogers, Choice
