Klappentext zu „Cumin, Camels, and Caravans: A Spice Odyssey “
Traveling along four prominent trade routes¿the Silk Road, the Frankincense Trail, the Spice Route, and the Camino Real for chiles and chocolate¿Nabhan follows the caravans of itinerant spice merchants from the frankincense-gathering grounds and ancient harbors of the Arabian Peninsula, to the port of Zayton on the China Sea, to Santa Fe in the desert Southwest. His stories, recipes, and linguistic analyses of cultural diffusion routes reveal the extent to which aromatics like cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and peppers became adopted worldwide as signature ingredients of diverse cuisines. Cumin, Camels, and Caravans demonstrates that two particular desert cultures often depicted in constant conflict¿Arabs and Jews¿have spent more of their history collaborating in the spice trade and suggests how a more virtuous multicultural but globalized society may be achieved in the future.

Rezension zu „Cumin, Camels, and Caravans: A Spice Odyssey “
"On the face of it, in this travel memoir braided with history, Nabhan seems focused on the spice trade, but in fact he¿s looking at the origins of globalization: a fascinating read." Tamim Ansary, author of Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World through Islamic Eyes
