| Abstract |
"This book considers the politics of tea consumption and tea protest between the Boston Tea Party and American independence. While scholars have read protests like the Boston Tea Party as statements of popular dislike for tea, Fichter argues that tea remained popular despite Patriots' discouraging its consumption and its temporary ban"-- Provided by publisher. |
