Consuming Whiteness: Australian Racism and the ›White Sugar‹ Campaign by Stefanie Affeldt

The ›white Australia policy‹ has so far largely been discussed with regard only to the political-ideological perspective. No account was taken of the central problem of racist societalization, that is the everyday production and reproduction of ›race‹ as a social relation (›doing race‹) which was supported by broad sections of the population.

This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted.

Yali’s Question: Sugar, Culture, and History by Frederick Errington; Deborah Gewertz; Anthony T. Carter

Yali’s Question is the story of a remarkable physical and social creation—Ramu Sugar Limited (RSL), a sugar plantation created in a remote part of Papua New Guinea. As an embodiment of imported industrial production, RSL’s smoke-belching, steam-shrieking factory and vast fields of carefully tended sugar cane contrast sharply with the surrounding grassland. RSL not only dominates the landscape, but also shapes those culturally diverse thousands who left their homes to work there.

The French Sugar Business in the Eighteenth Century by Robert Louis Stein

Plantations in the French Antilles (principally in Haiti) became major sugar producers in the 18th century, and France became a main distributor to other European countries. Stein provides a clear and coherent (if sometimes repetitious) explanation of the three-pronged trade; ships from France carried slaves from Africa to the Antilles, and then returned to Europe with sugar. The slaves, most of whom died of disease and overwork, were victims of the French sugar trade.

Searching for the Invisible Man: Slaves and Plantation Life in Jamaica by Michael Craton; Garry Greenland

Topics
#slavery, #Jamaica, #plantations, #WorthyPark, #genealogy, #oralhistory, #history, #sugarplantations, #blackchattelslavery

“Though centered on a single Jamaican sugar estate, Worthy Park, and dealing largely with the period of formal slavery, this book is firmly placed in far wider contexts of place and time. The ‘Invisible Man’ of the title is found, in the end, to be not just the formal slave but the ordinary black worker throughout the history of the plantation system.”
