Beschreibung:
"We know very little about the lives of sugar workers and their interactions with the managerial personnel of the mills in which they worked. McGillivray goes deep into documentary archives to address this vital shortcoming of the historiography of Cuba, to look at Cuban society and politics through two sugar communities. Blazing Cane gives an insightful look at how ordinary people coped with the complex and uncertain circumstances that surrounded them in the Cuban republic."--Alejandro de la Fuente, author of "A Nation for All: Race, Inequality, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Cuba"
