About This Item
294-314 pages with maps and bibliography. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Journal of Anthropological Research Volume 30, Number 4 complete issue. First edition. As a result of its goals and previous experience, a colonizing society adopts a more or less consistent and successful strategy for exploitation of natural and human resources in newly occupied territory. This paper proposes a framework for describing the strategic bases for specific patterns of resource exploitation. The Spanish colonization of Cuba is examined with attention to the ways in which previous experiences on Española affected the Spanish strategy for exploitation of Cuba's natural resources and human population. In contrast to Española, Spanish colonization of Cuba followed a pattern aimed at maximizing efficiency in resource exploitation. The primary vehicle of the new strategy was the location of Spanish settlements. An approach which views colonial expansion from the perspective of ecosystem management may be productive for a range of studies of colonizing societies. Condition: Spine sunned, light edge wear, previous owner's name to title page else very good.
