- [...] the influence of foreign-capitalized transport and the processing of a specific export commodity will be discussed according to these same themes in reference to James Wiley's analysis of the Caribbean Rim's banana trade. Brown's introduction ably surveys literature straddling both Latin American and British imperial studies and argues from it that previous decades' preoccupation with political economy ignored how "competing ideas of sovereignty were imagined, compromised and asserted" (19). [...] Brown and most of his contributors take a decided "cultural bent" to reinvigorate "informal empire" (20). [...] early railroad concessions were more "Anglo-Criollo" projects than London machinations.
