Traveling with Sugar

"A remarkably original work, Traveling with Sugar overflows with critical thought, haunting prose, and trenchant details. Its gripping personal stories trace painfully intimate connections between planetary crisis, economic disparities, and human health."--Peter Redfield, author of Life in Crisis: The Ethical Journey of Doctors without Borders "In one of my favorite passages, Amy Moran-Thomas describes how the experience of diabetes in Belize is like waiting for the hurricanes that now pummel the country with increasing intensity--beating one down with no time or technology for recovery. This is bioecological sociocultural analysis at its best."--Kim Fortun, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Irvine
