Sidney W. Mintz

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1986

Political Economy Canon; A Classic That Remade Anthropology and Cultural Studies
Sidney W. Mintz's Sweetness and Power situates economic analysis in consumption rather than production. The author believes that a producer's labor and exploitation is not enough to understand the exploitation of production. One must unpack the mythos of demand. Central to this is the idea that rational choice leads liberal individuals to consume products because it is in their best interest. ...

Sidney W. Mintz

W. W. Norton & Company, 1974

Hats off to Sidney W. Mintz
Sidney W. Mintz humanizes the `cane worker' in this vibrant ethnography in which he combines knowledge gained during a formal research period (`48 - `49) with the autobiography of his key informant, Taso (Anastacio {Eustaquio} Zayas Alvarado). The critical core of this ethnography, the autobiography, was an afterthought. Shortly after the conclusion of his field work with Mintz, Taso joined ...

Christine M. Du Bois, Sidney W. Mintz

This representative selection of Lesser's work is designed to make the range of his writings accessible to a broad audience.
