Dale Tomich (1946-2024)…in His Own Words (Part I): Interviews, February–June 2024 by Juan Giusti-Cordero
methodology.Over the course of four decades, Tomich's books and essays have been seminal for "contextualizing and theorizing the history of the modern world economy, particularly the role of New World slavery (the plantation) in the construction of modern capitalism."(Crichlow and Giusti 2024: 249).Dale's close understanding of Caribbean and Brazilian history, which he merged into a study of Atlantic history, built bridges where few scholars have…
Sugarlandia Revisited: Sugar and Colonialism in Asia and the Americas, 1800-1940
Sugar was the single most valuable bulk commodity traded internationally before oil became the world's prime resource. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, cane sugar production was pre-eminent in the Atlantic Islands, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Subsequently, cane sugar industries in the Americas were transformed by a fusion of new and old forces of production, as the international sugar economy incorporated production areas in Asia, the…

Sidney W. Mintz (1922–2015)
Just a few weeks over 93, anthropologist Sidney W. Mintz passed away in December 2015. A long and productive life blessed with good health ended suddenly from injuries sustained in a fall. As odd as this may seem regarding a person his age, Sid Mintz's death felt quite untimely. Until the end, Sid enjoyed life and was beloved by family, colleagues, and friends. He was a keen observer, a great storyteller, an expert cook and food enthusiast, a you…
The Sugar Trade: Brazil, Portugal, and the Netherlands, 1595-1630
The Sugar Trade is a large book on a major topic: the trade in sugar between Brazil, Portugal, and the Netherlands from 1550 to 1630, a key period in the consolidation of the Atlantic economy as it evolved from an imperial to a global network. Classic works on Brazilian sugar production and trade by Vitorino Magalhães Godinho and Frédéric Mauro covered price trends and profitability, while Stuart Schwartz and Vera Ferlini delved into local and re…

But Where Are "The People"? Unfinished Agendas inThe People of Puerto Rico
The People of Puerto Rico is a comprehensive ethnography of major types of rural communities in pre-1950 Puerto Rico but was less successful in reconnecting those localities in a coherent portrayal of the island's social formation. A reexamination of this work's best-known subcultures, Santa Isabel (Sidney Mintz' “Cañamelar”) and Ciales (Eric Wolf's “San José”), offers entry points to these communities, as well as to the key concepts that Mintz a…

Labour, Ecology and History in a Puerto Rican Plantation Region: "Classic" Rural Proletarians Revisited
The sugar workers of large-scale capitalist plantations in the Caribbean are familiar figures in social history. As portrayed in Sidney Mintz's landmark research in southern Puerto Rico, sugar workers are manifest rural proletarians: landless wage labourers exploited by "land-and-factory combines". In Mintz's studies, Puerto Rican sugar workers became the classic case of modern rural proletarians. Such rural proletarians are the dichotomous oppos…
