Abstract

[eng] Yann Moulier Boutang — The functioning of the slave-plantation economy in Cuba (1790-1868).. Releasing the Cuban economy from the sugarcane hypertrophy has proven a crucial and recurrent problem for Cuba. Tracing the running of the slave economy from 1790 to 1870, as corresponds to the period of the cane specialization, helps to understand the whole social system designed to ensure labour supply. The article presents the principal determinants of the growth of slave labour stocking and the dynamics deforming the system. It shows how the « whitening » of the population and the complexity of social stratification came to hinge onto the openings of the legal, economic and demographic headways. It is around the large plantations that productivity, rural migration and social compromises were brought into interplay.
