Frontiers, Plantations, and Walled Cities : Essays on Society, Culture, and Politics in the Hispanic Caribbean (1800-1945) Paperback / softback
by Luis Martinez
Paperback / softback
Description
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Hispanic Caribbean was fundamentally a plantation economy dominated mainly by the world sugar market.
The politics were shaped by revolutions, political coups, wars, and elections, resulting in an end of Spanish power, independent states, and the domination of the region by the United States.
These developments led to changes in social values. The author follows these developments throughout the main Hispanic islands and provides a fascinating picture of a region in turmoil.
