Slipping Away
Banana Politics and Fair Trade in the Eastern Caribbean. This volume examines the banana wars from the vantage point of St Lucia's Mabouya Valley, whose recent, turbulent history reveals the impact of global forces. The rural poor have responded in creative ways, including new social movements and Fair Trade farming, in order to negotiate the shifting global economy.
