From New Orleans and Mexico across the Caribbean and Central America to Colombia, it marks banana and sugar plantations, ports, Tropical Radio stations and the routes of United Fruit’s Great White Fleet and British subsidiary Elders \u0026amp; Fyffes. The invented realm of “Bananaland” and the formal companion title “A Map of the Foreign Empire…” deliberately subordinate national borders to the company’s infrastructure and reach. Rich in ships, fruit and caricature, it is both superb 1930s magazine design and a striking contemporary critique of the banana empire—an unusually vivid intersection of persuasive cartography, corporate history and American power in Latin America.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53896251507035,"sku":"P-8-007040","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007040a.jpg?v=1787833547","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/bananaland-united-fruit-company-s-operations-plantations-ernest-baker-1933-map-p-8-007040","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
