Elmire des sept bonheurs: Confidences d'un vieux travailleurs de la distillerie SaintÉtienne
A rare testimony to the world of distilleries
Elmire des sept bonheurs collects the words of a former worker at the Saint-Étienne distillery in Martinique. Through his confidences, the reader enters the little-known world of rum workers: the daily gestures of distillation, the rhythm of the sugar campaigns, the human relationships within the house and the traditions that punctuate Creole life.
Workers' memory and cultural heritage
This account goes beyond the anecdote: it is a document of workers' memory of great ethnographic value. The "seven joys" of the title refer to the simple and deep joys of a life devoted to working with sugar cane and making rum. The book will be of interest to rum lovers concerned with understanding the human history behind their spirit as well as to enthusiasts of Caribbean history and Caribbean intangible heritage.
