Jamaican coffee plantations, 1780-1860 : a cartographic analysis

Auteur :
HIGMAN, B. W.

Description :
Large-scale slave plantations were the dominant producers during Jamaica's first coffee boom. The internal spatial organization and land use patterns of these plantations can be analysed cartometrically for the significant sample of plans surviving in the National Library of Jamaica. These patterns varied regionally and contrasted strongly with those found on sugar estates. - (DB)
