  Traces social and environmental changes over four centuries in Pernambuco, Brazil's key northeastern sugar-growing state. Focusing particularly on the period from the end of slavery in 1888 to the late twentieth century, this confronts the day-to-day world of farming - the complex, fraught, and occasionally poetic business of making sugarcane grow.
