The "rural proletariat" of large-scale sugar plantation production in the twentieth century Caribbean is deceptively familiar. On close study, important "non-proletarian" dimensions of those laborers appear with force. At the same time, "proletarian" aspects offer much ambiguity. This dissertation focuses on labor patterns, ecology and history at the local and regional levels in Puerto Rico in order to approximate historical "peasant proletarians".Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The "rural proletariat" of large-scale sugar plantation production in the twentieth century Caribbean is deceptively familiar. On close study, important "non-proletarian" dimensions of those laborers appear with force. At the same time, "proletarian" aspects offer much ambiguity. This dissertation focuses on labor patterns, ecology and history at the local and regional levels in Puerto Rico in order to approximate historical "peasant proletarians".
520 $a The dissertation centers on the hamlets of Pinones (Loiza), on the island's northeast coast. The Loiza littoral is endowed with substantial, though not unique, ecological diversity and varied subsistence sources: fertile cropland, large mangrove forests, pasture, coconuts, lagoons, the seashore. Historically, it has had a heavily Afro-Puerto Rican population. In the twentieth century, the Loiza littoral became one of Puerto Rico's main sugar regions.
520 $a The dissertation covers from the late 18th century, when the Pinones hamlets took form as settlements of squatter cultivators-fishermen-woodsmen-charcoalburners-gatherers, through the "high" period of sugar production in 1910-1950, when most of the male adults worked seasonally in the cane. The pinoneros, who formally squatted on land formally owned by a sugar-central corporation and who were seeming candidates for rapid proletarianization, followed complex patterns throughout.
520 $a "Peasant-proletarian" is not a specific defining concept but a critical, dissembling standpoint open to local heterogeneity as well as to abstract discussion. Thus the seemingly particular history of Pinones and the Loiza region interrogates two "universal" concepts of history and social science ... and vice versa. Questions are also raised about the complexity of the Puerto Rican/Spanish creole and North American merchant-banking-planter classes.
520 $a My research is based on archival sources, including parochial records, records on public lands and forests, tax records, and property registries. In terms of published works, I focus on the extensive literature (largely anthropological) on peasants and rural proletarians in Caribbean rural studies. Particular attention is paid to Sidney Mintz's fundamental corpus of work on Caribbean peasants and (above all) rural proletarians, as well as on the peasant-plantation relation. The conclusion assesses larger implications in terms of discussions on the peasant or rural proletarian origins of the Brazilian "Peasant Leagues" and of the Cuban Revolution.
