American Sugar Kingdom by César J. Ayala Pdf

Engaging conventional arguments that the persistence of plantations is the cause of economic underdevelopment in the Caribbean, this book focuses on the discontinuities in the development of plantation economies in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic in the early twentieth century. Cesar Ayala analyzes and compares the explosive growth of sugar production in the three nations following the War of 1898--when the U.S. acquired Cuba and Puerto Rico--to show how closely the development of the Spanish Caribbean's modern economic and social class systems is linked to the history of the U.S. sugar industry during its greatest period of expansion and consolidation. Ayala examines patterns of investment and principal groups of investors, interactions between U.S. capitalists and native planters, contrasts between new and old regions of sugar monoculture, the historical formation of the working class on sugar plantations, and patterns of labor migration. In contrast to most studies of the Spanish Caribbean, which focus on only one country, his account places the history of U.S. colonialism in the region, and the history of plantation agriculture across the region, in comparative perspective.

Essays on the Theory of Plantation Economy by Lloyd Best,Kari Levitt Pdf

This important book provides a fascinating insight into the conceptual under-pinnings of the theory of plantation economy initiated by Lloyd Best and Kari Levitt in the 1960s as a basis for analysing the nature of the Caribbean economy. While acknowledging an intellectual debt to Latin American structuralists and also to the work of Dudley Seers and William Demas, the authors develop an original and innovative analytical framework as a counter to more "universalist" models which failed to take account of the Caribbean reality. Their work identifies the main features of the plantation economy as a hinterland characterized by subordination and dependency on the dominant metropole. Distinguishing between hinterlands of conquest, settlement and exploitation, Best and Levitt analyse the rules that determine this complex relationship with the metropole. Their economic theories are presented against a background of the historical factors that gave rise to the "structural continuity" of Caribbean economies and which now impede meaningful structural transformation.

Plantation Economy by Fouad Sabry Pdf

What is Plantation Economy An economy that is focused on agricultural mass production, typically of a small number of commodity crops, is known as a plantation economy. This type of economy is founded on enormous farms that are cultivated by laborers or slaves. Plantations are the names given to these properties. As a means of generating revenue, plantation economies are typically dependent on the export of cash crops. Cotton, rubber, sugar cane, tobacco, figs, rice, kapok, sisal, and species in the family Indigofera, which are used to manufacture indigo dye, were among the most important crops.

The life of a slave in the cotton plantation economy of North America by Julia Schönmann Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject History - America, grade: 1,0, University of Heidelberg (Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen), language: English, abstract: Slavery is a phenomenon which had already been common practice in ancient times and has influenced human history up till today. Historian and author Stanley Elkins compared the practice of slavery in the southern states of the U.S. to 'national socialist concentration camps' (Meißner, Mücke, Weber 120). Unfortunately, it was the sad truth. Slaves were imported from Africa and sold against their will like goods. The sole objective was effective economic exploitation of work force. The purpose of this term paper is to take a closer look and especially illustrate every day hardships of a slave's life on a North American cotton plantation. In this regard, the books Schwarzes Amerika from Meißner, Mücke and Weber, Out of Many from Farager, Buhle, Czitrom and Armitage as well as The Enduring Vision from Boyer, Clark and McNair Hawley serve as a basis for statistics and detailed information. The life of slaves was subject to constantly changing factors which leads to the conclusion that the standard of life was significantly worse on a big plantation than on a small manageable cotton farm. Furthermore, wealth and the plantation owner’s character influenced a slave's everyday life as well. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that not all circumstances and factors applied to every plantation.

The Rise and Fall of the Plantation Complex by Philip D. Curtin Pdf

Over a period of several centuries, Europeans developed an intricate system of plantation agriculture overseas that was quite different from the agricultural system used at home. Though the plantation complex centered on the American tropics, its influence was much wider. Much more than an economic order for the Americas, the plantation complex had an important place in world history. These essays concentrate on the intercontinental impact.

Slavery's Capitalism by Sven Beckert,Seth Rockman Pdf

During the nineteenth century, the United States entered the ranks of the world's most advanced and dynamic economies. At the same time, the nation sustained an expansive and brutal system of human bondage. This was no mere coincidence. Slavery's Capitalism argues for slavery's centrality to the emergence of American capitalism in the decades between the Revolution and the Civil War. According to editors Sven Beckert and Seth Rockman, the issue is not whether slavery itself was or was not capitalist but, rather, the impossibility of understanding the nation's spectacular pattern of economic development without situating slavery front and center. American capitalism—renowned for its celebration of market competition, private property, and the self-made man—has its origins in an American slavery predicated on the abhorrent notion that human beings could be legally owned and compelled to work under force of violence. Drawing on the expertise of sixteen scholars who are at the forefront of rewriting the history of American economic development, Slavery's Capitalism identifies slavery as the primary force driving key innovations in entrepreneurship, finance, accounting, management, and political economy that are too often attributed to the so-called free market. Approaching the study of slavery as the originating catalyst for the Industrial Revolution and modern capitalism casts new light on American credit markets, practices of offshore investment, and understandings of human capital. Rather than seeing slavery as outside the institutional structures of capitalism, the essayists recover slavery's importance to the American economic past and prompt enduring questions about the relationship of market freedom to human freedom.

Plantation Enterprise in Colonial South Carolina by S. Max Edelson Pdf

This impressive scholarly debut deftly reinterprets one of America's oldest symbols--the southern slave plantation. S. Max Edelson examines the relationships between planters, slaves, and the natural world they colonized to create the Carolina Lowcountry. European settlers came to South Carolina in 1670 determined to possess an abundant wilderness. Over the course of a century, they settled highly adaptive rice and indigo plantations across a vast coastal plain. Forcing slaves to turn swampy wastelands into productive fields and to channel surging waters into elaborate irrigation systems, planters initiated a stunning economic transformation. The result, Edelson reveals, was two interdependent plantation worlds. A rough rice frontier became a place of unremitting field labor. With the profits, planters made Charleston and its hinterland into a refined, diversified place to live. From urban townhouses and rural retreats, they ran multiple-plantation enterprises, looking to England for affirmation as agriculturists, gentlemen, and stakeholders in Britain's American empire. Offering a new vision of the Old South that was far from static, Edelson reveals the plantations of early South Carolina to have been dynamic instruments behind an expansive process of colonization. With a bold interdisciplinary approach, Plantation Enterprise reconstructs the environmental, economic, and cultural changes that made the Carolina Lowcountry one of the most prosperous and repressive regions in the Atlantic world.
