    Study Notes

    Caribbean Production Systems Development

    • Indigenous peoples practiced communal agriculture before European arrival, ensuring food security and community cohesion. Land ownership was communal.

    Historical Production Systems

    • Encomienda System (16th Century): Spanish settlers exploited indigenous labor for agriculture and mining. This led to forced labor and population decline among indigenous peoples.

    • Slavery and Plantation System: Millions of enslaved Africans were brought to work on sugar plantations. Large-scale monoculture and gang labor characterized this system. It significantly impacted land ownership, agricultural methods, and the Caribbean's population demographics.

    • Indentureship: After the abolition of slavery, indentured laborers from India and China worked on plantations. They signed contracts for fixed periods in exchange for passage, living provisions, and a return home option. This system added significant cultural diversity.

    Conclusion

    • Caribbean production systems have been dynamic, reflecting the region's historical experiences and adaption to global changes, from communal agriculture to the plantation system and indentureship. This shaped the region's economic and cultural identity.
