To continue to investigate the relationship between landholding, the acquisition of wealth and the social changes which took place in the island of Cuba during the later part of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. The effects of the sugar revolution on Cuban life will be placed in the wider framework of the Latin American and circum-Atlantic developments of the time.
