Sugar, Slavery, and Violence: the Moral Economy of Slaves on Nineteenth-Century Cuban Ingenios
Open AccessThe rise of sugar in Cuba at the turn of the nineteenth-century transformed Cuba into a slave society, fully dependent on chattel slavery for economic production and success. Under this new regime of sugar slavery, the experience of slavery drastically changed, and a different population of slaves - with a distinctive understanding of the world - developed in the Western Cuban countryside. Sugar slaves learned to express their humanity, and to respond to violations of their moral economy, through a language of violence and force.
