Chocolate, women and Empire: book review
"In the mythology of chocolate, the power relations of production and consumption are subsumed by a more attractive narrative of exotic peoples and their surroundings… chocolate seems to generate a particular type of history writing … one which delves into the realms of fantasy and romance
(pp. 85–6)."
Dr. Emma Robertson's "Chocolate, women and Empire: a social and cultural history" is reviewed by Professor Barbara Bush (History Department, Sheffield Hallam University" in the Institute of Historical Research's "Reviews in History"
Dr Robertson is Senior Lecturer in History, also at Sheffield Hallam
If you want to read more on the imperial history of chocolate, the book is in SOAS Library at A338.17374 / 987393
