In one of the most notable studies on the political economy of the modern Atlantic world, Sidney W. Mintz (Mintz, Sweetness
and power: the place of sugar in modern history. Penguin, London, 1985) explored the rise of sugar production in the Caribbean and emphasized Barbados’ role in shaping the trajectory of the sugar
industry in the seventeenth century. Yet, while sugar was certainly the defining commodity of the Barbadian economy, not all
of the island’s citizens were directly involved in the sugar production process. Residents of the island’s main urban center,
Bridgetown, lived at the interface between producers of sugar on rural estates in Barbados and consumers of sugar in metropolitan
Europe. They were the glue that held the emerging Atlantic sugar business together and their efforts to develop a functioning
urban infrastructure in Barbados helped fuel the trade in this valuable commodity. 相似文献

This paper discusses degrees of urbanity or urbanities using ethnographic data from research conducted among the Grecanici communities in the city of Reggio Calabria, south Italy. Urbanization in south Italy is usually associated with social and territorial mobility, education and natural disasters. It is further discussed in terms of a rural/urban duality that masks rather than reveals possible diversities concerning the social life in the city and the links between rural and urban which in the urban environment follow different trajectories. Following the premise that the effects of urbanization cannot be homogenously felt by the actors, I follow the Grecanici migration to the city of Reggio Calabria in the decade of the 1950s in order to argue that urbanities are directly informed by factors such as kinship, neighbourhood identification, education and socio‐economic status. 相似文献
