The review on Amazon starts like this: "Despite leaving out many parts 
of the Caribbean, the book's project is neither undermined, nor lacking 
in any respect. It plays well on the dynamics between wisely chosen 
general notions and the particular examples depicted so colourfully. The 
writing style makes it widely accessible not only to scholars within the 
field of anthropology and social sciences, but also to a wider range of 
possible readers outside academia, driven by a keen interest be it even 
only in the Caribbean, or in food. (Gabriela Radulescu, Allegra Laboratory)"

I am puzzled. Since when is the Caribbean part of England? Even if the 
review were about the book's series, the series is " Cultures of Early 
Modern Europe". What am I missing??
