520 $aPlantations, especially sugar plantations, created slave societies and a racism that persisted well into post-slavery periods: so runs a familiar argument that has been used to explain the sweep of Caribbean history. Here one of the most eminent scholars of modern social theory applies this assertion to a comparative study of most of the Caribbean islands from the time of the American Revolution to the Spanish American War.
520 8 $aArthur Stinchcombe uses insights from his own much admired Economic Sociology to show why sugar planters needed the help of repressive governments for recruiting disciplined labor. Demonstrating that island-to-island variations on this theme were a function of geography, local political economy, and the relation to outside powers, he scrutinizes Caribbean slavery and Caribbean emancipation movements in a world-historical context.
