The expansion of the sugar industry provoked profound changes in Tucumán'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 Tucumán'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 Tucumán 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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatricia Juarez-Dappe\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of Latin American history at California State University, Northridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 06, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43769042829447,"sku":"9780896802742","price":66.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/bZU42rlC4r9780896802742.webp?v=1769154722","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/when-sugar-ruled-economy-and-society-in-northwestern-argentina-tucuman-1876-1916-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
