Book Synopsis
The Everglades underwent a metaphorical and ecological transition from impenetrable swamp to endangered wetland. This study situates the environmental transformation of the Everglades within the economic and historical geography of global sugar production and trade.

Trade Review
"Raising Cane in the 'Glades argues that the transformation of Florida's Everglades was less a result of changing cultural values and more an outcome of political struggles that involved international competition, regional political interest, and local struggles. Hollander's method is innovative in the way that regional transformation is traced out through a single commodity in a specific time and place." - Altha Cravey, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"
