Cuban Sugar Industry - Transnational Networks and Engineering Migrants in Mid-Nineteenth Century Cuba (Electronic book text)

Nineteenth-century Cuba led the world in sugar manufacture and technological innovation was central to this. This book tells the story of a group of forgotten migrant workers who anonymously contributed to Cuba's development and whose experience helps illuminate both the advance of the Cuban sugar industry and the processes by which the island was bound into global commodity-driven networks of control, dependency, and resistance.
