  • Commodities Shaping a New Imperial History: Tobacco and the Iberian Empires

    Santiago de LUXÁN MELÉNDEZ, João Figueiroa-rego et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Commodities…2023

    Tobacco, which originated in the Americas, was one of the early commodities to shape a new imperial history.

This longue-durée history was one of tobacco monopoly and an Atlantic tobacco system that was integrally tied to…

    document two sides of a disputed coin.Both U.S. sociologists (though Dore, until her untimely death this year, was long resident in the United Kingdom), they meticulously craft their work from very different angles, aptly summed up in their two titles: Eckstein's Cuban Privilege and Dore's How Things Fall Apart.Building on her earlier work on Cuba and Cubans in the United States, Eckstein draws on archival, interview, and survey data to chart how…

    In 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in Caibarién, in north-central Cuba. Images of a devastated forgotten coastal town catapulted to international prominence a once-thriving port for the export of sugar and sponges, left in the shadows of international tourism on the nearby keys. In 2019, a collaboration between the Commodities of Empire British Academy Research Project, the Antonio Núñez Jiménez Foundation for Nature and Humanity, and the Cuba…

    Open AccessJean StubbsARTICLENew West Indian Guide / Nieuwe…2021

    set out to revise a crucial aspect of agrarian economy and society that is often insisted upon in Puerto Rican historiography: that the impact of U.S. rule after 1898 and large-scale U.S. sugar corporations wrought landlessness and rural impoverishment.Their earlier work-on coffee in the nineteenth century (Bergad) and sugar in the early twentieth (Ayala)had led them to question this.Bergad found land concentration alongside landlessness, subsist…

  • Mulata Nation: Visualizing Race and Gender in Cuba, by Alison Fraunhar

    Open AccessJean StubbsARTICLENew West Indian Guide / Nieuwe…2020

    Over a 20-year-long trajectory, Alison Fraunhar has been culling imagery of the way the mulata as a paradigmatic figure of cubanidad has over time been represented and performed.In Mulata Nation she argues that formative nineteenthcentury imagery depicted the mulata as "European enough to be visible and beautiful to the white male subject, and African enough to be typologized as sexual, primitive, desirable and available" (p.4).In the vein of Ben…
