Sugar was the single most valuable bulk commodity traded
internationally before oil became the world's prime resource. From
the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, cane sugar production was
pre-eminent in the Atlantic Islands, the Caribbean, and Brazil.
Subsequently, cane sugar industries in the Americas were
transformed by a fusion of new and old forces of production, as the
international sugar economy incorporated production areas in Asia,
the Pacific, and Africa. Sugar's global economic importance and its
intimate relationship with colonialism offer an important context
for probing the nature of colonial societies. This book questions
some major assumptions about the nexus between sugar production and
colonial societies in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, especially
in the second (post-1800) colonial era.
