Abstract

Sugar, besides its economic importance, created the foundations of political power in Brazil, based on the monopoly of land and the enslavement of indigenous and African people. Colonization, structured by the hegemony of the external market, created, over three centuries, a free rural population of whites, free blacks, and mestizos who survived on small plots and subsistence farms dependent on the power of the great landowners. From the centrality of the mills in the sugar world, the patriarchal character of this society, the basis and support of its political power, was forged. Sugar production was responsible for the “geography” of sugar, with territorial occupation by subsidiary activities such as subsistence farming and tobacco in the northeast, and with the expansion of sugar production towards the south in the 18th century.

糖与巴西殖民地的形成
除了经济上的重要性外,糖业还为巴西的政治权力奠定了基础,其基础是对土地的垄断和对土著和非洲人民的奴役。由外部市场霸权构成的殖民化,在三个多世纪的时间里,创造了一个自由的农村人口,包括白人、自由的黑人和混血儿,他们依靠大地主的力量在小块土地和自给自足的农场上生存。从糖厂在糖业的中心地位,这个社会的父权特征,其政治权力的基础和支持,被锻造。糖的生产对糖的“地理”起着重要的作用,在东北地区,糖的生产向南方扩张,诸如自给农业和烟草等附属活动占据了土地。
