Description

The iconic American banana man of the early twentieth centuryâ€"the white “banana cowboyâ€� pushing the edges of a tropical frontierâ€"was the product of the corporate colonialism embodied by the United Fruit Company. This study of the United Fruit Company shows how the business depended on these complicated employees, especially on acclimatizing them to life as tropical Americans.
