Paperback. Condizione: New. Sugar was the single most valuable bulk commodity traded internationally before oil became the world's prime resource. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, cane sugar production was pre-eminent in the Atlantic Islands, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Subsequently, cane sugar industries in the Americas were transformed by a fusion of new and old forces of production, as the international sugar economy incorporated production areas in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. Sugar's global economic importance and its intimate relationship with colonialism offer an important context for probing the nature of colonial societies. This book questions some major assumptions about the nexus between sugar production and colonial societies in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, especially in the second (post-1800) colonial era. …

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Scotlands diaspora, reframed through the Dutch East Indies: the intertwined lives of Highland lairds, Islay farmers and metropolitan merchants who built fortunes, and families, on the island of Java.A vivid group portrait of Scots who embedded themselves in the Dutch colonial world. Centering on the Batavia firm of Maclaine Watson & Co., G. Roger Knight draws on letters, newspapers, government and family archives to trace how sugar, trade and marriage created trans-imperial networks from Mull and Islay to Java, Singapore, the Low Countries and Australia. A fresh, unromantic, sharply observed study of Scottish ambition, mobility and identity across imperial bounds in the long-nineteenth century.From masked balls in Batavia to deer-stalking on Mull, Kin, Kilts and Kolonie follows Scots who made their lives and livelihoods within another European empire. At its heart stands Maclaine Watson & Co., a Batavia merchant house linking Highland clans, Scots glocalisers, and trans imperial merchants, in a web of kin, capital and commerce.Through families such as the Maclaines, McNeills, Frasers and McLachlans, Knight charts the fortunes of sojourners men and women who set out to return home richer, and largely did leaving descendants and investments across Asia, Europe and the Antipodes. Blending intimate biography with incisive economic history, Knight shows how wealth, power and marriage shaped both the Dutch colony and the Scots who thrived within it. Erudite, humane and unsparing, Knight reveals how Scotlands imperial fortunes were forged far from home and how their legacies endured long after the ships returned. Kin, Kilts & Kolonie examines Scotlands nineteenth-century diaspora through the Dutch East Indies. Centered on Maclaine Watson & Co. of Batavia, it reveals trans-imperial networks of trade, kinship and power.
