Slavery Behind the Wall: An Archaeology of a Cuban Coffee Plantation - Cultural Heritage Studies
Theresa A. Singleton
Cuba had the largest slave society of the Spanish colonial empire. At Santa Ana de Biajacas the plantation owner sequestered slaves behind a massive masonry wall. In the first archaeological investigation of a Cuban plantation by an English speaker, Theresa Singleton explores how elite Cuban planters used the built environment to impose a hierarchical social order upon slave labourers.
