Sugar Cane Capitalism and Environmental Transformation is a long-overdue and highly welcomed addition to the existing body of literature on Caribbean historical archaeology. The work provides the specific case study of Nevis within the context of the region, integrating well the existing body of literature in British initiatives in the Eastern Caribbean plantocracy. The book is also one of the very few to address the environmental impact of cane agriculture on the landscape. Meniketti's study makes a highly significant and original contribution, as it marks an important shift in current approaches to the historical archaeology of plantations in the Caribbean region. --Georgia L. Fox, author of The Archaeology of Smoking and Tobacco There is a fair amount of scholarship dealing with the colonial Caribbean as a laboratory of capitalistic enterprise, but Meniketti's study uniquely connects these views to the archaeological record of an individual island. This book will assume an important benchmark for comparative studies done elsewhere. --Gerald F. Schroedl, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
