Raves and Reviews
"A roller-coaster ride through 500 years of history. Sugar is an entertaining, informative and utterly depressing global history of an important commodity. By alerting readers to the ways that modernity’s very origins are entangled with a seemingly benign and delicious substance, Sugar raises fundamental questions about our world." (praise for SUGAR)
– The New York Times Book Review (praise for SUGAR)
"Walvin makes it abundantly clear that slaves actively pursued their liberation, rather than passively accepting their fate."
– Booklist
"A brilliant and thought-provoking history of sugar and its ironies. Walvin writes with fresh and righteous shock." (Praise for SUGAR)
– The Wall Street Journal (Praise for SUGAR)
"In this lucid work, historian Walvin focuses on the rapid decline of slavery in the Western world. This account, which illuminates a topic that remains widely misunderstood, merits a wide readership."
– Publishers Weekly
"Shocking and revelatory."
– David Olusoga, author of THE KAISER'S HOLOCAUST and host of the BBC's "Civilization"
