In his book Cocoaïans, the political history of chocolate is told in an extensive historical fresco that runs through the 20th and early 21st centuries. It is a story of the emancipation project of the Cocoaïans, the inhabitants of cocoa country, to make and sell their own chocolate, and inscribes cocoa in a civilising discourse, a narrative of the conquest of freedom.
