Content:
It has long been assumed that sugar cultivation and its attendant production culture shaped the institutional and social framework of slavery throughout the Caribbean. Yet there was greater diversification of economic activities and contrasting conditions of servitude existed. This book expands the study of slavery outside the context of sugar, focusing on the peculiar characteristics of enslavement in areas where the agricultural economy was oriented towards small farming - the hato economy, as was the case in eighteenth-century Puerto Rico.
