520 "Sugar, Steam and Steel is about cane sugar and the
transformation of an Indonesian island into the 'Oriental
Cuba' during the middle decades of the nineteenth century.
Between the 1830s and the 1880s, sweetener manufacture in
Dutch-controlled Java - the crown jewel of the erstwhile
Netherlands Indies - drew decisively away in matters of
technology and sugar science from other Asian centres of
production which had once equaled or, more often,
surpassed it in terms of both output and know-how. Along
with its larger and altogether more famous Caribbean
counterpart, Java's industry came to occupy a position at
the apex of the trade in what had become by this date a
key global commodity. Along with the beet sugar producers
of (post-1870) Imperial Germany, Cuba and Java accounted
for a little over one-third of the world's recorded output
of the industrially manufactured kind of sugar usually
referred to as 'centrifugal'. While Cuba held the position
of the world's largest supplier of cane sugar to
international commodity markets, 'Dutch' Java emerged from
almost nowhere to take second place. The island had begun
the nineteenth century as one of a number of centres - in
fact, a rather minor one - of pre-industrial sugar
production located in tropical and sub-tropical Asia from
the Indian sub-continent through to the southernmost
islands of Japan. It ended the century not only as by far
the largest of Asia's producer-exporters of sugar but also
- critically - as the sole example of the sustained and
successful large-scale industrialisation of sugar
manufacture anywhere in 'the East'. Sugar, Steam and Steel
sets out to explain how and why this happened - and what
its implications were for the long-term trajectory of the
Java sugar industry in the international sugar economy."--
