# Race In The Atlantic World

The Race In The Atlantic World book series examines the complex intersections of ethnicity, power, and forced labor across the Americas. This historical novel series explores the systemic structures of oppression and the socio-political dynamics that shaped the Atlantic world, focusing on the relationship between race and economic production.

The first volume, Cuban Tobacco in the Age of Second Slavery, analyzes the role of enslaved Africans in the Cuban tobacco economy. It challenges the myth that tobacco was a small-scale free-labor crop, instead presenting it as a plantation economy dependent on forced labor. By focusing on the Pinar del Río region, this history book details how tobacco served as a counterpart to sugar in the Spanish American slave colony, providing a new perspective on slavery and emancipation in the Caribbean.
