The book's title evokes the twin dislocations of economic globalization affecting the village—the volatility of coffee markets following the demise of the International Coffee Agreement in 1989 and the upswing in global human migration in the two decades that followed. The book examines migration, religion, and coffee-planting strategies as various potential coping mechanisms for dealing with these dislocations.... Reichman writes briskly and well, making this book useful in undergraduate courses exploring globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Integration and Disintegration\u003cbr\u003e 1.
