About this title

Synopsis

"Sixty Years in Cuba" is a compelling firsthand account of the socio-economic and political transformation of Cuba during a pivotal era. Written by Edwin F. Atkins, a prominent figure in the sugar industry, the work chronicles his extensive experiences on the island from the mid-1860s through the early 20th century. Atkins provides an insider's perspective on the complexities of the Cuban sugar trade, the impact of the Ten Years' War, and the profound shifts following the Spanish-American War.

The narrative offers detailed observations on the daily operations of sugar plantations, the evolution of labor systems, and the intricate relationship between American capital and Cuban development. Beyond economic interests, the work serves as a historical record of the changing landscape of Cuban society and its struggle for independence. "Sixty Years in Cuba" is an essential resource for those interested in Caribbean history, the history of business, and the diplomatic ties between the United States and Cuba. It captures a period of intense transition through the lens of a man deeply embedded in the island's most vital industry.
