LXV, núm. 233 Págs. 79-116, ISSN: 0034-8341 «A COMMONWEALTH WITHIN ITSELF». THE EARLY BRAZILIAN SUGAR INDUSTRY, 1550-1670 POR STUART B. SCHWARTZ Yale University Este ensayo examina los contornos básicos de la economía del azúcar en Brasil entre 1550 y 1660, cuando se convirtió en la principal productora de dicho artículo en el mundo atlántico. Comienza analizando el amplio espectro que situó al país en el contexto del sistema comercial euro-americano, para estudiar luego las condiciones locales y los desafíos específicos de la tierra, el trabajo y el capital a los que hizo frente la industria cañera brasileña temprana y que le confi- rieron un carácter y unos contornos peculiares. Finalmente investiga la rápida expansión del sec- tor hasta 1620 y las razones por las que su crecimiento se estancó, incluso antes del ascenso de nuevos competidores en el Caribe después de 1650. PALABRAS CLAVES: Brasil, Portugal, Holanda, siglos XVI-XVII, azúcar, mercado, factores de producción. The first contacts with Brazil did not generate much interest in Portugal so long as that distant shore was seen only as a place to obtain dyewood or tropical curiosities. By the 1530s, however, the introduction of sugar cane and the begin- nings of a sugar industry had begun to transform Brazil, especially its northeas- tern coast, into a colony of settlement. The sugar estates, by their nature and by their socially and «racially» segmented populations, eventually determined much of the structure of the colony and of its society.

    N.

A. T. HALL THE VICTOR VANQUISHED EMANCIPATION IN ST. CROIXJ ITS ANTECEDENTS AND IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH INTRODUCTION The slave uprising of 2-3 July 1848 in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, belongs to that splendidly isolated category of Caribbean slave revolts which succeeded if, that is, one defines success in the narrow sense of the legal termination of servitude. The sequence of events can be briefly rehearsed. On the night of Sunday 2 July, signal fires were lit on the estates of western St. Croix, estate bells began to ring and conch shells blown, and by Monday morning, 3 July, some 8000 slaves had converged in front of Frederiksted fort demanding their freedom. In the early hours of Monday morning, the governor general Peter von Scholten, who had only hours before returned from a visit to neighbouring St. Thomas, sum- moned a meeting of his senior advisers in Christiansted (Bass End), the island's capital. Among them was Lt. Capt. Irminger, commander of the Danish West Indian naval station, who urged the use of force, including bombardment from the sea to disperse the insurgents, and the deployment of a detachment of soldiers and marines from his frigate (f)rnen. Von Scholten kept his own counsels. No troops were despatched along the arterial Centreline road and, although he gave Irminger permission to sail around the coast to beleaguered Frederiksted (West End), he went overland himself and arrived in town sometime around 4 p.m.

This work evaluated the agroindustrial performance of 16 sugarcane genotypes in the sugarcane microregion Litoral Norte of Pernambuco in four harvest cycles and the regularity in the repetition of characters. The experiment was conducted in the agricultural area of São José sugar mill, Igarassu, state of Pernambuco, Brazil.

  • Madeira and the Beginnings of New World Sugar Cane Cultivation and Plantation Slavery: a Study in Institution Building*
    MADEIRA AND THE BEGINNINGS OF NEW WORLD SUGAR CANE CULTIVATION AND PLANTATION SLAVERY: A STUDY IN INSTITUTION BUILDING* Sidney M. Greenfield Department of Anthropology The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201 Although the tropical New World is generally taken as the context for the comparative and historical study of plantation systems and of slavery, the institutional complex of the slave plantation' did not have its origins in the Western Hemisphere. Instead, as Charles Verlinden2 and others have demon- strated so ably, the culture complex can be traced back to the European colonies established in Palestine following the First Crusade. There sugar was grown by a mixed force of free and slave workers. The sugar then was exported, with some of it reaching the developing markets of Western Europe. Sugar cane had been known to Europe at least as far back as antiquity, although its distribution was limited. The cultivation of the crop, and its in- creased availability and wider distribution, came to Mediterranean Europe in the wake of the expansion of Islam. Sugar cane, most probably first domesticated in India, had been grown in Asia Minor and was carried along with the spread of Islam to the coastal regions of North Africa, the islands of the Mediterranean, and eventually to the Moorish kingdoms in the Iberian peninsula.3 Given the intensity of the conflict between Christianity and Islam during the Middle Ages, trade between the areas controlled by the rival religions tended to be minimal. Hence sugars produced in areas under Moslem control went, for the most part, to supply markets in the Near East and North Africa, while the markets of Europe had to be supplied from areas under Christian control.

  • SUGAR CANE and RUM ROUTE of MADEIRA Madeira Island Porto Da Cruz ©Francisco Correia
    SUGAR CANE AND RUM ROUTE OF MADEIRA Madeira Island Porto da Cruz ©Francisco Correia Sugar cane is an agricultural product cultivated in Madeira since its colonization and which contributed for the exponential economic, social and cultural development of the island and of the then kingdom of Portugal, through the exports of one of its by- products – the sugar. HISTORICAL FRAMEWORK By order of Prince Henry, the Navigator, in the first quarter of the 15th century, the first sugar cane stalks (Saccharum officinarum), from Sicily, reached Madeira. Here they found fertile soils and abundant water, brought by the small levadas from the sources of the main streams. The places with a greater production of sugar cane and where most of the engenhos (sugarcane mill) could be found were located on the Southern slope of the island, namely in the municipalities of Funchal, Ribeira Brava, Ponta do Sol and Calheta. The first reference to Madeiran sugar dates back to 1433 and, two decades later, it was already produced in sufficient quantities for exportation, being considered the most refined sugar on the market. The Madeiran sugar was successful in the European market due to its quality, competing with the sugar from Sicily, Egypt and Morocco, and was exported to England, Flanders, France, Italy, Constantinople, among other markets. The sugar, also called “White Gold”, was exported inside a type of “cone” made out of clay, called “Pão de Açúcar” (Sugar Bread) or “Cones de Açúcar” (Sugar Cones).

TYSON Virgin Islands Social History Associates GISLI PALSSON Anthropology, University of Iceland ‘Oh Lor’, I know it you call my name. Nobody don’t callee me my name from cross de water but you. You always callee me Kossula, jus’lak I in de Affica soil!’ So you unnerstand me, we give our chillun two names. One name because we not furgit our home; another name for de Americky soil so it woun’t be too crooked to call. ———Cudjo Lewis, in Barracoon (Zora Neale Hurston 2018 [1931]: 17, 73) INTRODUCTION The act of naming, and of recognizing ourselves by the names we are given, often seems such a universal aspect of human experience as to be second nature.

Gordon AFRICANS AND THEIR DESCENDANTS IN COLONIAL COSTA RICA, 1600-1750 by Kent Russell Lohse, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2005 To Shaunda, Lantz, Baby Lohse, and All descendants of Africans brought to Costa Rica ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In my years in Austin I have been fortunate to work with some of the best scholars in Latin American history. In my first semester at UT, I was lucky enough to find what many grad students never do. Sandra Lauderdale Graham has been better than the best advisor I could have hoped for. By always pushing me to ask hard questions and seldom allowing me to take the easy way out, she has helped me more than anyone else to think and write about the past. I am honored to be her student. With his merciless red pen and caustic wit, Richard Graham has sent me back to the drawing board many times. I am sure that this dissertation would be much better if I had followed more of their advice.
