These landscapes-from cotton fields in the Lower Mississippi Valley to sugar plantations in western Cuba and coffee plantations in Brazil's Paraíba Valley-demonstrate how the restructuring of the capitalist world economy led to the formation of new zones of commodity production. By extension, these environments radically transformed slave labor and the role such labor played in the expansion of the global economy"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 26, 2021) Subject Plantations -- Mississippi River Valley -- History -- 19th century Plantations -- Cuba -- History -- 19th century Plantations -- Brazil -- Paraibuna River Valley -- History -- 19th century Plantations -- Mississippi River Valley -- Pictorial works Plantations -- Cuba -- Pictorial works Plantations -- Brazil -- Paraibuna River Valley -- Pictorial works Slavery -- Economic aspects -- Mississippi River Valley Slavery -- Economic aspects -- Cuba Slavery -- Economic aspects -- Brazil -- Paraibuna River Valley HISTORY -- Latin America -- General.
