«Aceite de palma: La grasa del imperio» is the essay by Max Haiven, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Max Haiven starts from an ingredient omnipresent in processed foods, cosmetics and industrial components to weave a non-chronological narrative that crosses history, culture, politics and economics. The book connects its origins in West Africa with European imperialism and presents it as a key piece of global capitalism, whose harmful effects remain hidden in plain sight.
First edition published on February 15, 2024 within the collection El libro de bolsillo - Social sciences. Translation from English by Irene Riaño de Hoz.
For readers interested in economics, colonial history and critical analysis of capitalism.
