A Taste of Brazil: The History of Guaraná This research project traces the transformation of guarana, a caffeine-rich plant native to the Amazon, from a plant cultivated by the Sateré-Maué to a nationalist icon and namesake of a multibillion dollar industry. The study interweaves ethnohistory, the history of science, and the history of medicine with the rise of mass consumerism and nationalism in the developing world, retelling the history (or histories) of region and nation in Brazil from novel perspectives.
