Some Aspects of Work Organization on Sugar Plantations in Barbados

1965 (Jerome Handler) “Some Aspects of Work Organization on Sugar Plantations in Barbados.” Ethnology 4: 16-38.

This paper is specifically concerned with the more salient features of work organization on several small-scale sugar plantations in the Scotland or highland district of Barbados in the early 1960s. Emphasis is less upon the plantation as a productive enterprise or social system than upon the organization of work activities and the statuses which workers fill as they perform these activities.
