Making Tobacco Bright
Book Description:
Making Tobacco Bright (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011) by Barbara Hahn explores the interactions between the tobacco industry and tobacco agriculture over three centuries, arguing that varietal types (which are not genetic) are the result of historical market relations and regulations. Different regions met demand with different cultivation methods that changed in different market and legal environments.
