About this title

Synopsis

Over a period of several centuries, Europeans overseas developed an intricate system of plantation agriculture - a "plantation complex" - that was different from the agricultural institutions they normally used at home. These essays explore the intercontinental aspects of this phenomenon.

Book Description

Over a period of several centuries, Europeans developed an intricate system of plantation agriculture overseas which was quite different from the agricultural system used at home. Though the plantation complex centered on the American tropics, its influence was much wider. Much more than an economic order for the Americas, the plantation complex had an important place in world history. These essays concentrate on the intercontinental impact.
