{"product_id":"cultivation-and-culture-ira-berlin-9780813914244","title":"Cultivation and Culture: Labor and the Shaping of Slave Life in the Americas","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo central was labor in the lives of African-American slaves that it has often been taken for granted, with little attention given to the type of work that slaves did and the circumstances surrounding it. Cultivation and Culture brings together leading scholars of slavery- historians, anthropologists, and sociologists- to explore when, where, and how slaves labored in growing the New World's great staples and how this work shaped the institution of slavery and the lives of African-American slaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors focus on the interrelationships between the demands of particular crops, the organization of labor, the nature of the labor force, and the character of agricultural technology. They show the full complexity of the institution of chattel bondage in the New World and suggest why and how slavery varied from place to place and time to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ira Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813914248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813914244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Ira Berlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926410952959,"sku":"9780813914244","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e0316315-d0db-4213-9a92-dcbde2eedc0a.jpg?v=1681082936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cultivation-and-culture-ira-berlin-9780813914244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
