Lee The Fernand Braudel Center Studies in Historical Social Science will publish works that address theoretical and empirical questions produced by scholars in or through the Fernand Braudel Center or who share its approach and concerns. It specifically seeks to promote works that contribute to the development of the world-systems perspective engag- ing a holistic and relational vision of the world—the modern world-system—implicit in historical social science, which at once takes into consideration structures (long-term regularities) and change (history). With the intellectual boundaries within the sciences/ social sciences/humanities structure collapsing in the work scholars actually do, this series will offer a venue for a wide range of research that confronts the dilemmas of producing relevant accounts of historical processes in the context of the rapidly changing structures of both the social and academic world. The series will include monographs, colloquia, and collections of essays organized around specific themes.

Tomich his book examines nineteenth-century slavery from a distinct conceptual and Thistoriographical perspective. Conventionally, slavery has been understood as a uniform phenomenon. Although slavery in different countries exhibits particular national variations, these are fundamentally regarded as different iterations on the same thing. These iterations are viewed as independent of one another, and the goal of comparative study is to disclose variations between independent national cases. In this context, slavery is generally regarded as archaic, backward, and incompat- ible with a modern economic, social, and political order. Consequently, the “great transformation” of the nineteenth century signaled the universal crisis of slavery; the emergence of free markets, modern industry, modern forms of the nation-state, abolitionism, and liberal ideology are taken to have inevitably destroyed chattel slavery throughout the Americas. In contrast, the perspective adopted here regards slavery in the Americas as part of the modern world-economy. It calls attention to the interrelation and interdependence of slave systems as part of a larger socioeconomic whole; that is, particular instances of slavery are understood as constituted and reconstituted within processes of the capitalist world-economy. Hence, modern slaveries are not viewed as uniform and homogeneous, nor are they seen to be directly comparable 1 with one another outside of world-economic processes. Rather, they are treated as distinct local responses to world-economic transformations. This perspective opens a new analytical and interpretive approach to the crisis of slavery in the nineteenth century. It emphasizes the differentiation, heterogeneity, and specificity of particu- lar slave systems as part of the political, economic, and social transformations of the world-economy. Most importantly, it distinguishes between the redeployment of slave relations in new zones of commodity production and the simultaneous crises of older zones of colonial slavery, which I have elsewhere analyzed as the formation of the second slavery (Tomich 2003, esp. pp. 56–71). In complex and contradictory ways, slavery and bonded labor are disclosed as spatially and temporally heterogeneous and, at the same time, as integral aspects of the “great transformation,” modernity, and capitalist development. These “new frontiers of slavery” differ from the older zones of colonial slavery. They emerged after the Haitian Revolution and the destruction of colonialism as the organizing framework of the Atlantic world. They presuppose and are part of the historical transformations of the world-economy marked by the developments noted above: free markets, industrial capitalism, independent nation-states, abolition- ism, and liberal ideology. The distinctions between the older colonial slavery and this newer “second slavery” are expressed in the relations between masters, slaves, and freed people, in the local society and at the level of the world-economy itself. The chapters in this book explore the “new frontiers of slavery” by addressing a variety of conceptual and substantive historical problems within this framework. They emphasize in new ways the importance of Atlantic slavery for the formation of the modern world-economy as they indicate new perspectives on old problems and raise new questions for research. This project was initiated at a conference, “O Século XIX e as Novas Fronteiras da Escravidão e Liberdade,” held in Rio de Janeiro and Vassouras, Brazil, in 2009 under the sponsorship of the Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the Universidade Severino Sombra, Vassouras, RJ, Brazil; the Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil; and the Fernand Braudel Center, Binghamton University, Binghamton, NY. We would particularly like to thank Keila Grinberg, Ricardo Salles, and Rafael Marquese 2 for their efforts in organizing this event. The conference brought together scholars from Europe, Brazil, the Caribbean, and the United States. Several of the papers in this volume are from this conference, while others are the result of subsequent discussion of these themes and problems. No one participating in a conference on slavery held in Vassouras could help but feel the presence of Stanley Stein. His classic work Vassouras (1985) is still the necessary reference for Brazilian coffee plantation slavery and remains a model for scholars of slavery throughout the Americas. Everyone participating in the project feels in his intellectual debt. This volume is dedicated

C. ij To JORGE BASADRE Historian Scholar Friend Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from LYRASIS IVIembers and Sloan Foundation http://www.archive.org/details/chinesebondageinOOstew FOREWORD THE CENTURY just passed has witnessed a great movement of the sons of China from their huge country to other portions of the globe. Hundreds of thousands have fanned out southwestward, southward, and southeastward into various parts of the Pacific world. Many thousands have moved eastward to Hawaii and be- yond to the mainland of North and South America. Other thousands have been borne to Panama and to Cuba. The movement was in part forced, or at least semi-forced. This movement was the consequence of, and it like- wise entailed, many problems of a social and economic nature, with added political aspects and implications. It was a movement of human beings which, while it has had superficial notice in various works, has not yet been ade- quately investigated. It is important enough to merit a full historical record, particularly as we are now in an era when international understanding is of such extreme mo- ment. The peoples of the world will better understand one another if the antecedents of present conditions are thoroughly and widely known.

  • 'Neither God Nor Monster': Antonio Maura and the Failure of Conservative Reformism in Restoration Spain (1893–1923)
    María Jesús González ‘Neither God Nor Monster’: Antonio Maura and the Failure of Conservative Reformism in Restoration Spain (1893–1923) ‘Would you please tell me which way I ought to go from here?’, said Alice. ‘That depends on where you want to get to’, said the cat. (Alice in Wonderland, London, The Nonesuch Press, 1939, p. 64) During the summer of 1903, a Spanish republican deputy and journalist, Luis Morote, visited the summer watering-holes of a number of eminent Spanish politicians. Of the resulting inter- views — published as El pulso de España1 — two have assumed a symbolic value of special significance. When Morote interviewed the Conservative politician Eduardo Dato, Dato was on the terrace of a luxury hotel in San Sebastián, talking with his friends, the cream of the aristocracy. It was in that idyllic place that Dato declared his great interest in social reforms as the best way to avoid any threat to the stability of the political system. He was convinced that nobody would find the necessary support for political revolution in Spain. The real danger lay in social revolution.2 Morote wrote that Antonio Maura, who was at his Santander residence, went into a sort of ‘mystic monologue’, talking enthu- siastically about democracy, the treasure of national energy that was hidden in the people, the absence of middle classes and the mission of politicians: that the people should participate, and that every field in politics should be worked at and dignified.3 Two Conservative politicians, two different approaches, two different paths towards an uncertain destination: one of them patching up holes in the system and the liberal parliamentary monarchic regime in its most pressing social requirements, the European History Quarterly Copyright © 2002 SAGE Publications, London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi, Vol.

  • Economics of Slavery Essay
    1 From: The Oxford Handbook of Slavery in the Americas, ed. Robert L. Paquette and Mark M. Smith (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2010) The Economics of Slavery Peter A. Coclanis Writing on the economics of slavery is in some ways an impossibly difficult task, for the subject’s limits and bounds are viewed by many as virtually coterminous with those of slavery itself. Indeed, such an assignment has become increasingly difficult over time, as economists incorporate more and more areas of human experience into their interpretive clutches. Whereas at one time almost everyone conceded the material realm to economics, but cordoned off spiritual concerns, economists now make claims on such concerns as well, bringing the emotions, the psyche, and even the soul under the discipline’s dominion. It is thus a long way from the ancient Greeks, whose original sense of economics concerned the rules, customs, and laws (nomos) of the house or household (oikos), to Nobelist Gary Becker, for whom the decision to bear children is interpretively akin to the decision to purchase a refrigerator or car, to more recent writers who have written on the economics of attention, interpreted the rise of religion and the origin of fear in economic terms, and linked behavioral expressions ranging from sexual orientation to laughter to cruelty to economic variables. 2 This said, here we shall focus on issues of traditional concern to economic historians of slavery, to wit: the origins of and motivations/rationales for slavery; pattern and variation in the institution both across space and over time; questions relating to slavery’s profitability; the developmental effects of slavery; and the reasons for its demise.

  • Freedom's Mirror Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution by Ada Ferrer
    Freedom’s Mirror During the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1804,arguablythemostradi- cal revolution of the modern world, slaves and former slaves succeeded in ending slavery and establishing an independent state. Yet on the Spanish island of Cuba, barely fifty miles away, the events in Haiti helped usher in the antithesis of revolutionary emancipation. When Cuban planters and authorities saw the devastation of the neighboring colony, they rushed to fill the void left in the world market for sugar, to buttress the institutions of slavery and colonial rule, and to prevent “another Haiti” from happening in their territory. Freedom’s Mirror follows the reverberations of the Haitian Revolution in Cuba, where the violent entrenchment of slavery occurred at the very moment that the Haitian Revolution provided a powerful and proximate example of slaves destroying slavery. By creatively linking two stories – the story of the Haitian Revolution and that of the rise of Cuban slave society – that are usually told separately, Ada Ferrer sheds fresh light on both of these crucial moments in Caribbean and Atlantic history. Ada Ferrer is Professor of History and Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University. She is the author of Insurgent Cuba: Race, Nation, and Revolution, 1868–1898,whichwonthe2000 Berk- shire Book Prize for the best first book written by a woman in any field of history.

  • On the Surnames of Latin American Presidents
    BASQUE LEGACY IN THE NEW WORLD: ON THE SURNAMES OF LATIN AMERICAN PRESIDENTS Patxi Salaberri Iker Salaberri UPNA / NUP UPV / EHU Abstract In this article we explain the etymology of the surnames of Basque origin that some presidents of Latin American countries have or have had in the past. These family names were created in the language called Euskara, in the Basque Country (Europe), and then, when some of the people who bore them emigrated to America, they brought their sur- names with them. Most of the family names studied here are either oiconymic or topo- nymic, but it must be kept in mind that the oiconymic ones are, very often, based on house-nicknames, that is, they are anthroponymic in the first place. As far as possible, we have related the surname, when its origin is oiconymic or toponymic, to its source, i.e. to the house or place where it was created. Key words: Basque, etymology, family name, Latin America, oiconym, placename, nickname. Laburpena Artikulu honetan Erdialdeko eta Hego Amerikako herrialdeetako presidente batzuek dituzten eta izan dituzten euskal jatorriko deituren etimologia azaltzen dugu. Abizenok euskararen barnean sortu ziren, Euskal Herrian, eta euskaldunek Ameriketara emigratu zutelarik eraman zituzten berekin. Aztertzen diren deitura gehienak etxe edo toki ize- nak dira, baina aintzat hartu behar da oikonimikoek, askotan, etxe izengoitietan dutela sorburu, hots, antroponimikoak zirela hasmentan. Ahal izan dugunean abizena iturria- rekin lotu dugu, etorkiz etxe edo leku izena zenean, alegia, deitura sortu zen etxe edo le- kuarekin batu dugu. Giltza hitzak: Euskara, etimologia, deitura, Hego eta Erdialdeko Amerika, etxe izena, leku izena, izengoitia.

  • INTELLECTUALS and POLITICS in the URUGUAYAN CRISIS, 1960-1973 This Thesis Is Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements
    INTELLECTUALS AND POLITICS IN THE URUGUAYAN CRISIS, 1960-1973 This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of New South Wales 1998 And when words are felt to be deceptive, only violence remains. We are on its threshold. We belong, then, to a generation which experiences Uruguay itself as a problem, which does not accept what has already been done and which, alienated from the usual saving rituals, has been compelled to radically ask itself: What the hell is all this? Alberto Methol Ferré [1958] ‘There’s nothing like Uruguay’ was one politician and journalist’s favourite catchphrase. It started out as the pride and joy of a vision of the nation and ended up as the advertising jingle for a brand of cooking oil. Sic transit gloria mundi. Carlos Martínez Moreno [1971] In this exercise of critical analysis with no available space to create a distance between living and thinking, between the duties of civic involvement and the will towards lucidity and objectivity, the dangers of confusing reality and desire, forecast and hope, are enormous. How can one deny it? However, there are also facts.
