Reviews
This book is an example of how a well-researched documentary project can be prepared for a wide public audience., Sugar Water is a nicely balanced introduction to the ventures that got us where we are today. . . . The first four chapters, which give a general history and statement of the situation, should be of interest to anyone who lives here. . . . Water is undoubtedly a complicated matter, and Wilcox has the first, not the last, word on the subject of surface water., The story [Wilcox] tells is not simply the fascinating one of an industry plundering the resources of one place to enrich the resources of another. [She] documents who profited, who lost, who got used in the process. She also raises questions about the uses of that sugar water now that King Cane no longer drives the economy.
