The expansion of the sugar industry provoked profound changes in Tucum疣's economy as sugar specialization replaced the province's diversified productive structure. Since ingenios relied on outside growers for the supply of a large share of the sugarcane, sugar production did not produce massive land dispossession and resulted in the emergence of a heterogeneous planter group. The arrival of thousands of workers from neighboring provinces during the harvest season transformed rural society dramatically. As the most dynamic sector in Tucum疣's economy, revenues from sugar enabled the provincial government to participate in the modernizing movement sweeping turn-of-the-century Argentina.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatricia Juarez-Dappe uncovers the unique features that characterized sugar production in Tucum疣 as well as the changes experienced by the province's economy and society between 1876 and 1916, the period of most dramatic sugar expansion. \u003ci\u003eWhen Sugar Ruled\u003c\/i\u003e is an important addition to the literature on sugar economies in Latin America and Argentina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Juarez-Dappe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0896802744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780896802742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 110","brand":"Patricia Juarez-Dappe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44245071266047,"sku":"9780896802742","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c39c325-881d-4c40-a8c4-976169d23f3a.jpg?v=1693925954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-sugar-ruled-patricia-juarez-dappe-9780896802742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
