From Modern Production to Imagined Primitive: The Social World of Coffee from Papua New Guinea by Paige West
Everyone who tries to buy "fair trade", "organic" or "green" should read this book, especially coffee drinkers. Yes, a bit of guilt, but knowledge is power! Essentially, the system is too screwed up for us to change just by drinking "fair trade" coffee. It's a great first step, but we need to do more.
The only reason I'm not finishing this book, at the moment, is that I need to move on to other homework reading. This is definitely a book I could see buying and finishing later.
