Dale Tomich, professor of sociology, will present “Sugar, Slavery and Landscape in 19th Century Cuba: A Visual History.” During the first half of the 19th century, Cuba pioneered the industrialization of cane sugar production and dominated the world sugar market while employing a slave labor force. Tomich will analyze the relationship between technological innovation, space and slavery in the formation of the Cuban sugar frontier through the use of a variety of visual sources including lithographs, maps, technical drawings and photographs.
