Slavery was in many ways the fundamental institution in colonial
Cuba, whose economy was based on the export of sugar from the
slave-worked plantations. This volume presents a quantitative study
of Cuban slavery from the late eighteenth century until 1880, the
year slavery was formally abolished on the island. The core of this
study is an examination of the yearly movement of slave prices and
changes in the demographic characteristics of the slave market.
Based on data from the notarial protocol records of the Archivo
Nacional de Cuba, this book establishes precise price trends for
slaves by age, sex, nationality, and occupation, and considers a
number of other variables including the prices of coartados (slaves
who had begun the process of buying their freedom) and the patterns
of emancipation. Incorporating over 30,000 slave transactions from
three separate locations in Cuba - Havana, Santiago, and Cienfuegos
- this work comprises the largest extant database on any slave
market in the Americas.
