First published in 1971, Gwendolyn Midlo Halls comparison of two developing sugar plantation systems St. Domingues (Haiti) in the eighteenth century and Cubas in the nineteenth century changed the focus in comparative slavery studies. Hall establishes that slavery and race relations in any given time and place were determined by strategic needs, the raison detre of the colony, evolving economic and demographic factors, and above all, by the need to preserve social order in colonies where the slave population was large, active, competent, resourceful, and independent minded. She delineates a pattern of racism rising and entrenching itself as a matter of public policy, as a means of bolstering the exploitative system, a pattern that recurred throughout the hemisphere.

I was hoping for more of a narrative style but this book is really more of a scholarly work. I thought it would discuss personal stories, but it focuses heavily on the theoretical aspects of social control. Just not what I was looking for, and it felt overly dry at times.

Detailed but Dense Reading
While the subject matter is incredibly interesting, I found some sections a bit tough to get through. The comparisons between St. Domingue and Cuba are thorough, but the writing style can be overly academic at times. Still, it's a valuable resource for those who are committed to the topic.
