Later expanding his ethnographic research to Haiti and Jamaica, he produced historical and ethnographic studies of slavery and global capitalism, cultural hybridity, Caribbean peasants, and the political economy of food commodities. He taught for two decades at [[Yale University]] before helping to found the Anthropology Department at [[Johns Hopkins University]], where he remained for the duration of his career. Mintz's history of sugar, ''[[Sweetness and Power]]'', is considered one of the most influential publications in [[cultural anthropology]] and [[food studies]]. | + | '''Creolization''' is the process in which [[Creole peoples|creole]] cultures emerge in the [[New World]]. |
