It brings together case-studies from known and lesser-known tobacco regions of the world to interrogate tobacco’s ‘second globalisation’, a concept little employed by historians thus far, but one which encapsulates tobacco’s central role in Europe’s imperial expansion beyond the Atlantic and the social, political, and cultural transformations of global capitalism taking place during the period. The collection fills a gap in the study of commodities of empire, which has examined tobacco primarily for the early modern Atlantic world, or for single empires during the later period. It invites comparison across borders, encompassing political, economic, and sociocultural history, and, with a particular emphasis on trade, knowledge, and labour, juxtaposes micro-histories with a macro-historical perspective. Together, the studies in the volume testify to the importance of tobacco in new places and among new players, challenging the confines of national and imperial historiographical frameworks. They demonstrate the rising dominance of new powerful forces, including transnational corporations, but also a wide range of actors in conflict and negotiation within territorial and imperial confines. By systematically taking into account the agency in Europe’s apparent peripheries and the Global South, they critique a simple assumption of the dominance of the West. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 11 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander van Wickeren\u003c\/b\u003e is a Research Coordinator for the Faculty of Cultural Sciences at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Stubbs\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Fellow of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of London’s School of Advanced Study, in the UK, and Professor Emerita of London Metropolitan University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Gervase Clarence-Smith\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of History at SOAS University of London, in the UK, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and the Royal Asiatic Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 December 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCentral European University\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031644139\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e388\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Central European University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52315773894796,"sku":"9783031644139","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031644139","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
