Description

"In Oysters: A Global History Carolyn Tillie delves into the culinary, artistic, sexual, historical and scientific history of the humble bivalve. She shows how the oyster encouraged immigration and industry in the newly established United States, how it perpetuated slavery among those working in the oyster beds, and how Japan unexpectedly become the saviour of the world's oyster industry. Packed with colorful anecdotes, this little book is a delightful introduction to the lore of the oyster."--Dust jacket.
