Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “¿Puede ser opulento ni feliz un pueblo donde muchos de sus habitantes son víctimas de las enfermedades morales? No hay felicidad sin la paz y el contento del alma, no hay paz ni contento sin virtudes, sin virtudes no hay amor ni constancia en el trabajo, y sin trabajo no hay riquezas verdaderas. Llámenos en buena hora opulentos y felices, aquellos que trastornando el nombre de las cosas, pretenden arrullarnos con el acento de esas palabras encantadoras; pero el hombre reflexivo que sabe distinguir las operaciones de la naturaleza, de los esfuerzos de la industria; y que no confunden las combinaciones de la prudencia con los resultados de la casualidad, jamás dirá, que es feliz un pueblo donde hay dolencias morales tan difíciles de curar, como de grave trascendencia. La que ahora lamento, es de las más funestas, porque sus consecuencias son terribles: la más general de todas, porque se juega desde la punta de Maisí hasta el cabo de San Antonio; y quizá también la de más difícil curación, porque aunque este vicio no es de aquellos que tienen su fundamento en la naturaleza, está sin embargo muy arraigado entre nosotros, y no es probable que en todas partes se persiga con igual tesón; y aun cuando así sea, puede practicarse ocultamente, burlando algunas veces la vigilancia de la autoridad.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructing the Spanish Empire in Havana examines the political economy surrounding the use of enslaved laborers in the capital of Spanish imperial Cuba from 1762 to 1835. In this first book-length exploration of state slavery on the island, Evelyn P. Jennings demonstrates that the Spanish state’s policies and practices in the ownership and employment of enslaved workers after 1762 served as a bridge from an economy based on imperial service to a rapidly expanding plantation economy in the nineteenth century. The Spanish state had owned and exploited enslaved workers in Cuba since the early 1500s. After the humiliating yearlong British occupation of Havana beginning in 1762, however, the Spanish Crown redoubled its efforts to purchase and maintain thousands of royal slaves to prepare Havana for what officials believed would be the imminent renewal of war with England. Jennings shows that the composition of workforces assigned to public projects depended on the availability of enslaved workers in various interconnected labor markets within Cuba, within the Spanish empire, and in the Atlantic world. Moreover, the site of enslavement, the work required, and the importance of that work according to imperial priorities influenced the treatment and relative autonomy of those laborers as well as the likelihood they would achieve freedom. As plantation production for export purposes emerged as the most dynamic sector of Cuba’s economy by 1810, the Atlantic networks used to obtain enslaved workers showed increasing strain. British abolitionism exerted additional pressure on the slave trade. To offset the loss of access to enslaved laborers, colonial officials expanded the state’s authority to sentence deserters, vagrants, and fugitives, both enslaved and free, to labor in public works such as civil construction, road building, and the creation of Havana’s defensive forts. State efforts in this area demonstrate the deep roots of state enslavement and forced labor in nineteenth-century Spanish colonialism and in capitalist development in the Atlantic world. Constructing the Spanish Empire in Havana places the processes of building and sustaining the Spanish empire in the imperial hub of Havana in a comparative perspective with other sites of empire building in the Atlantic world. Furthermore, it considers the human costs of reproducing the Spanish empire in a major Caribbean port, the state’s role in shaping the institution of slavery, and the experiences of enslaved and other coerced laborers both before and after the beginning of Cuba’s sugar boom in the early nineteenth century.
Download or read book Colonial Reckoning written by Louis A Pérez Jr. and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Colonial Reckoning Louis A. Pérez Jr. examines Cuba’s wars for independence in the second half of the nineteenth century, focusing specifically on those Cubans who remained loyal to Spain. Drawing on newspaper articles, personal letters, military battle reports, government commissions, consular reports, literature, and other materials, Pérez shows how everyday black, white, and creole Cubans defended the Spanish empire as paramilitary guerrillas alongside white elites. These loyalist Cubans helped the Spanish fight a separatist insurgency composed of a similarly diverse population of Cubans. Pérez demonstrates that these wars were so deadly and drawn out precisely because Cubans fought on both sides, each holding myriad competing visions of sovereignty and contested meanings of nation. Complicating mythical and historiographical narratives that Cuban national liberation was a struggle waged between Cubans of color and white elites beholden to Spain, Pérez shows that the fight consisted of a great number of factions with unique and evolving motivations. In so doing, he interrogates anew the multifaceted social dimensions and multiple political aspects of the complex drama of Cuban national formation.
