Coffeeland
Coffeeland: One Man's Dark Empire and the Making of Our Favorite Drug | Augustine Sedgewick
90 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 14 to read
The epic story of how coffee connected and divided the modern world Coffee is an indispensable part of daily life for billions of people around the world--one of the most valuable commodities in the history of global capitalism, the leading source of the world's most popular drug, and perhaps the most widespread word on the planet. Augustine Sedgewick's Coffeeland tells the hidden and surprising story of how this came to be, tracing coffee's five-hundred-year transformation from a mysterious Muslim ritual into an everyday necessity. This story is one that few coffee drinkers know. It centers on the volcanic highlands of El Salvador, where James Hill, born in the slums of Manchester, England, founded one of the world's great coffee dynasties at the turn of the twentieth century. Adapting the innovations of the Industrial Revolution to plantation agriculture, Hill helped to turn El Salvador into perhaps the most intensive monoculture in modern history, a place of extraordinary productivity, inequality, and violence. Following coffee from Hill family plantations into supermarkets, kitchens, and workplaces across the United States, and finally into today's ubiquitous cafs, Sedgewick reveals how coffee bred vast wealth and hard poverty, at once connecting and dividing the modern world. In the process, both El Salvador and the United States earned the nickname "Coffeeland," but for starkly different reasons, and with consequences that reach into the present. This extraordinary history of coffee opens up a new perspective on how the globalized world works, ultimately provoking a reconsideration of what it means to be connected to faraway people and places through the familiar things that make up our day-to-day lives.

Bookwormjillk Up early to drive my son to work them coming home to drink all the tea and read all the books. Shopping with my daughter later. 1mo
Sace I confess I started my week in an irritable mood despite having Monday off. The skies were gray and I had been people-ing too much. I‘m feeling better now. My only plans today are grocery shopping, haircut, lunch and reading. 1mo
Read4life We‘re still in the USVI taking care of my father in law. There was no change with him this week. We were able to get to the beach 4 days this week. This weekend we‘re going to spend time with my mother in law and her husband. In spite of the stressful reason we‘re here, we are getting some wonderful time with family. 1mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie yikes, that's bad. Hope you catch up on some 💤 soon x 1mo
Faranae A week of insomnia, so I'm way behind on everything, but at least my stream reading has been going great (although an entire 30 minutes of my silly Don Quixote voice has left my vocal cords shredded oops). Going to try to get the two last Amelia Edwards stories I need to finish this weekend for the epub I'm making. Also skimming the diary of Gideon Mantell. 1mo
DogMomIrene @TheBookHippie I‘d love snow, but we just got some flurries that didn‘t stick😮‍💨 Hope you get some sleep! 1mo
AllDebooks @Faranae hope you get back to a more normal sleep pattern soon. Enjoy your reading. X 1mo

Time for a much needed #SaturdayChatterday

Well, what a week it's been for everyone. How are you feeling? This is a safe space to chat about whatever is on your mind.
All welcome to join in.

@Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle @IndoorDame @Cuilin @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Eggs

AllDebooks I've taken refuge in books this week. The real world has been too much. 1mo
Librarybelle I found I wanted to read last night, which it‘s been a few days since I really could. There‘s been a lot on my mind, and Heather Cox Richardson‘s post this morning puts it into words so eloquently. She‘s an amazing political historian who bases everything she says on facts and history. But, this weekend is usual routines, with Sunday being a family get together. These checkins are so nice. Thank you! ❤️ 1mo
Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday. I have a busy week next week so I have to do some prep this weekend. I also have been doing some research for books to read next year which is fun. 1mo
See All 27 Comments
Cuilin What a week! there‘s never been a time in my life where I prefer audiobooks to reading, but I did this week. All I wanted to do was curl up and listen to David Copperfield‘s life. Today I‘m going Providence RI to get my daughter for the long weekend. 1mo
Cuilin @Librarybelle H Cox Richardson is amazing. 1mo
DogMomIrene @Librarybelle @Cuilin I may need to suck it up and subscribe/pay for H Cox Richardson‘s substack. @Suet624 mentioned her to me. I‘ve tried Substack before and was overwhelmed by the number of emails I received. Wondering what you all would say the average read time is for her posts? Under ten minutes? Like could I make her a daily morning read with coffee? And then continue coffee with Litsy time (obviously 😉) 1mo
Cuilin @DogMomIrene I follow her on TikTok. 1mo
Suet624 @DogMomIrene @Librarybelle - I've followed Heather for years. You can read her on Facebook but the simplest method is subscribing on Substack. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. She is also doing an audio version if you're interested in that. It comes out later in the day. Did you see the post she wrote the day after the election? And her posts generally take less than 10 minutes to read. 1mo
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin I just started following her on FB, after reading the reposts friends would do! I also heard her speak a few weeks ago at a virtual event, and I was struck by how articulate and knowledgeable she is. I have her books and really need to read them. I agree with @Suet624 …it takes me less than 10 minutes to read her posts. 1mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle How have I never heard of her? I'll be checking out her posts. Thank you. Knowledge is power! Honestly, these #chatterdays are a blessing and it's so much fun to check in. 1mo
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk it's always fun to plan future reads. I hope your prep gies well. 1mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin Same! I've found them better at quietening the mind. And I've certainly needed that. Enjoy your long weekend and have a safe trip. 1mo
AllDebooks @DogMomIrene I've just followed her FB page 1mo
AllDebooks I have to say Litsy has been a lifeline this week. I've avoided other socials and news, cos it was too much. I've never felt so overwhelmed. The love and compassion of Littens has been a source of comfort. I've never known on an online community that is so supportive of each other. Thank you #Littens 😊 1mo
AllDebooks I'm spending the weekend on planning #MidwinterSolace I think we're really going to need it. And it will run thru Dec and Jan again. ❄️❤️❄️ 1mo
TheBookHippie Well considering people I love and even some on here voted against my being it‘s 😵‍💫. The people being really quiet because they don‘t dare say hate out loud and actually do know how dangerous it is now for me, and my students especially, (and a large population of people that live in the US) is hard to digest. I‘m not trying to be divisive. It‘s truth. So I‘m grappling with that this morning. (edited) 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 💙💙💙💙💙 1mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I couldn't sleep last night after reading Project 2025 earlier in the day. 1mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I read it long ago. It‘s terrifying. 1mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie it really is. I'd readnewspaper reports but the actual document is so much more sinister abd divisive 1mo
DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin @Librarybelle @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Thank you Littens! I‘m following her on Substack with notifications through the app only, which will pair nicely with some Litsy coffee time while keeping my email a little less jumbled. Already read her 11/8 post and I‘m all in. 1mo
Suet624 @DogMomIrene 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 1mo
Suet624 @TheBookHippie Ugh. I know. Thank you for sharing the truth. 1mo
kspenmoll Litsy has been my safety net. Taking it easy after election fallout. Talking with like minded friends has helped. Just reading & walking today. Nature soothes me. Trying to keep the terror at bay. 1mo
dabbe Thanks for the tag, @MaleficentBookDragon. 😘 I just have to say it: what a fucking week. I also picked a great week to have a dental implant removed--plus finding out I had a pretty bad infection. Just the cherry on the banana split that reeks of mold. But ... the sun keeps rising, and the earth keeps spinning. And this is a place of solace and healing. Thanks, Littens. #onedayatatime 💙 1mo
Catsandbooks Feeling overwhelmed, enraged, and exhausted. Been watching a lot of hallmark Christmas movies. My plan for the rest of the year is to really lean into all things comfort and cozy. I just wanna stay in and not deal with people. 1mo

It‘s #saturdaychatterday feel like a virtual coffee chit chat meet up? Here or on @AllDebooks page? or both?
My day is BUSY! I‘m working on having reasonable expectations and not getting/feeling overwhelmed.

kspenmoll I can sympathize with your feeling overwhelmed with too many expectations! Try & give yourself down times in between or do little thongs that refresh you! Thanks for all you do to keep this community going. Sending love . 💕 As for me, I hope to walk, read6, do some housework- then I am chaperoning at our next HS Homecoming dance! I love seeing the kids dressed up & dancing. (edited) 2mo
inthegreensandblues Reasonable expectations 👍💚 I've got some important things on the to do list, but it's a gray, cozy autumn day and I'm starting it with reading time and candles and coffee. 2mo
Avanders That‘s an important focus during the holidays! I already feel a bit overwhelmed 🫢 I‘m trying to allow myself to feel the excitement of the holidays, though, rather than stifling everything down in favor of the more practical aspects of living life… 🎄❄️♥️ 2mo

My family could use some prayers or good intentions. My dad‘s father died Friday (I‘m ok we weren‘t close) and funeral is sat. My mom was taken to the hospital Monday and has a blood infection in addition to some other things requiring emergency surgery. The dogs have kennel cough. It‘s been a week.

Last week was nuts. Hubby had lasik that didn‘t go as well as expected. Three day rummage sale. Family drama. All the things. So I forgot to post this. Thanks @ElizaMarie for the lovely #cbbc package! Those pb cups were delicious!! #coffeebeanbookclub

AmyG I hope your husband is ok. I had lasik twice in 2000. They undercorrected so did it again and I was fine. 2y
BethM @AmyG thanks! His left eye is still not quite right and his eyes are uncomfortable but he can see -ish. 2y
ElizaMarie I hope the hubby's eyes recover soon! I had ablation eye surgery, the recovery period took a bit longer than expected, but... I am 10000% happy I did it! 2y
