Dear TIMS Members,
\non the next TIMS Online Conference a presentation will be given by M. Dores Cruz. The title of the presentation is:
\n“Doce Inferno do Engenho”: Praia Mel\u00e3o and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9’s Sugar Mills in the construction of colonial landscapes and the making of the modern Atlantic World (16th-17th century).
\nAbstract:
\nOne of the most enduring legacies of European colonialism is the plantation system, with long lasting consequences on the contemporary world. Despite their pioneering role in the development of the plantation system, sugar in the 16th and cocoa in the 19th and 20th centuries, the material history of the islands of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Principe is poorly known. This lecture focuses specifically on the site of Praia Mel\u00e3o, the largest sugar mill (engenho) and estate in the island, active from the 16th to the 19th century. I will discuss the mill’s infrastructures, and how they enabled sugar production and the control of enslaved population. Praia Mel\u00e3o is a singular sugar plantation site, which includes evidence of a large hydraulic mill, and it is currently at great risk of destruction. The sugar mill of Praia Mel\u00e3o will be discussed in the context of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9’s sugar cycle, highlighting the materiality and the role of plantation infrastructures in the construction of power relations, as well as the role of the island in the making of the modern Atlantic world.
