Author Name
Paul Nugent (Author)
I was formerly Director of the Centre of African Studies and remain Professor of Comparative African History at the University of Edinburgh. I am interested in African borderlands, the politics of Ghana, the history of the slave trade, post-colonial Africa and the history of wine and temperance. I also have a side interest in African militaries, the political economy of taxation and histories of consumption more broadly. The book that is in press is a history of state-making from the margins in West Africa (Ghana, Togo, Senegal and the Gambia), after which I will be completing a history of the South African wine industry. Drinking decent Burgundy while listening to jazz and turning some well-marinated lamb chops on the braai is what keeps me sane.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Description
With the introduction of wine to the Cape Colony, it became associated locally with social extremes: with the material trappings of privilege and taste, on the one side, and the stark realities of human bondage, on the other. By examining the history of Cape wine, Paul Nugent offers a detailed history of how, in South Africa, race has shaped patterns of consumption.

The book takes us through the Liquor Act of 1928, which restricted access along racial lines, intervention to address overproduction from the 1960s, and then latterly, in the wake of the fall of the Apartheid regime, deregulation in the 1990s and South Africa's re-entry into global markets. We see how the industry struggled to embrace Black Economic Empowerment, environmental diversity and the consumer market.

This book is an essential read for those interested in the history of wine, and how it intersects with both South African and global history. .
