Plantation Kingdom
Plantation Kingdom
Plantation Kingdom traces the rise and fall of America’s plantation economy. Written by four renowned historians, the book demonstrates how an international capitalist system rose out of slave labor, indentured servitude, and the mass production of agricultural commodities for world markets. Vast estates continued to exist after emancipation, but tenancy and sharecropping replaced slavery’s work gangs across most of the plantation world. Poverty …
Does Crop Determine Culture
Drawn from a plenary discussion at the 2013 Agricultural History Society’s annual meeting in Banff, five scholars examine the relationships of specific crops to their surrounding cultures. The question “does crop determine culture?” provided opportunities to explore crop determinism and interrogate the relationships between particular crops and their production methods. The question intended to avoid the narrow association of “culture” with culti…
Globalism Grounded
Although we do it all the time, it is risky, in some ways, if not a bit foolhardy to reify geographic regions by assigning to them general mindsets, values, and behaviors. “The South” is politically conservative, polite, family-oriented, religious, nonentrepreneurial (even “lazy”), etc.—you know the routine. Many southerners, maybe, but, even so, what about people such as Ted Turner or Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia fame? Or Captain John Smith of the V…
Creating Abundance

This is particularly true of mainland Southeast Asia prior to the commencement of the era of high imperialism in the second half of the nineteenth century. To be sure, in recent years scholars have begun to explore certain aspects of the mainland's demographic history during the precolonial and early colonial periods. Nonetheless, we still lack basic information on fertility, mo…

Time in the Paddies
Peter Coclanis, John Komlos, Time in the Paddies: A Comparison of Rice Production in the South-Eastern United States and Lower Burma in the Nineteenth Century, Social Science History, Vol. 11, No. 3 (Autumn, 1987), pp. 343-354
Time in the Paddies
The Question Of the relative efficiency of agricultural production within the institutional framework of slavery flared in the 1970s. Fogel and Engerman (1971, 1977) found antebellum Southern agriculture to have been considerably more productive than previously thought. Although this aspect of their finding became generally accepted, the controversy focused on just how efficient slave production actually was compared to Northern agriculture (Davi…
