The maxim of the moment and for the new millennium (at least for now) is that “after 9/11 the world changed.” Focused, amplified, and projected by the media, the September 2001 events have echoed with an apparent immensity and a rending of the global geopolitical fabric that merit comparison with Waterloo in June 1815 and Sarajevo in June 1914. In each case, an epoch is said to have ended, the first by conventional battle in concert with peace conventions that ended several decades of global conflict, the latter two with acts of terrorism that precipitated global wars of vastly differing intensities and probable durations. Each of these turning points in global history has, of course, its own character, dynamics, and contexts, which largely transcend the narrower episodes and scenes that constitute the intersections of drugs, war, and peace. Nevertheless, one of the persistent and little-noticed elements in the history and geography of warfare during the past half millennium has bee...

Membicarakan Amerika tidak bisa dijauhkan dengan posisinya sebagai negara adikuasa. Amerika kini menjadi salah satu negara yang mencengkeram dunia baik dalam segi ekonomi maupun politik. Namun sejujurnya, pengaruh Amerika sudah mulai terasa sejak Perang Dunia II. Menurut Chomsky, AS muncul dari Perang Dunia II sebagai kekuasaan global pertama dalam sejarah (hal.3). Disadari atau tidak hingga milenium sekarang, AS masih mencengkeram dunia lewat kekuasaan yang seolah ingin menjadi Tuhan atas sekalian penduduk bumi.

One could say that this text was shelved, but not fully forgotten, and aged but hardly diminished, for sixty years before decanting. That this remarkable volume is finally available to a wider readership testifies to the persistent good sense and taste of its partisans and the publisher. Until now, it was only available as an unpublished Berkeley Ph.D. dissertation, Aboriginal Drink Areas of Mexico (1940). The loudest encomiums should go to Henry Bruman for producing this outstanding study, to Carl Sauer for directing it, and to his consultants (many acknowledged) who shared their knowledge of vernacular vinting and brewing. Bruman has wisely resisted revision. It stands as a nearly perfect exemplar of the empiricist-cultural historicist work that Sauer inspired and his adherents carried out during the middle decades of the last century. It is both a valuable artifact and a vital archive that should uncork new interest in, and research on, the genre and the topic.
