From Prison Islands to Island Paradises
Islands have often been used to exile political prisoners, migrants, criminals, mentally ill individuals, and others deemed unworthy. Yet the remoteness that made islands ideal prison sites is today exploited to develop nature-based ecotourism (NBET). Given the ‘prison to paradise’ phenomenon is previously undocumented in the literature, this paper explores three descriptive cases in the Global South: Ecuador (Galápagos Islands), Panamá (Coiba Is…
When the Archaeologists Leave
The Hacienda El Progreso functioned as an important Ecuadorian agro-industrial enterprise in the late nineteenth century. Operating out of San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos archipelago, the plantation exported refined sugar, coffee, cattle products, and other goods to national and international markets. From its beginnings in the 1860s, the plantation established the first permanent human settlement on the island, and long after its demise in…
Evaluation of the Rapid Phytolith Extraction Protocol to Identify the Fuel-mix Used at the Nineteenth-century Sugar Mill of El Progreso Plantation, Galápagos
Phytoliths analysis was applied to identify the fuel compound used at the steam-powered sugar mill of El Progreso plantation during the late nineteenth century. The microfossil record shows that the fuel compound used was a combination of native wood taxa and introduced grasses to San Cristóbal Island in the 1870s. The rapid extraction protocol was applied and appears as an alternative for phytoliths extraction in remote places where equipment an…
The Galápagos as penal colony
Transportation to remote islands has been a way that authorities have dealt with criminals since well before the birth of the modern state. What happens to those exiles once on the islands has varied greatly in different times and places. This paper explores the Galápagos plantation run from 1878 to 1904 by Manuel J. Cobos. His operation demonstrates that the patriarchal concept of the hacienda continued to play a key role in the disciplining of …
