After the 2010 earthquake, many stakeholders in Haiti and across the globe worked together to increase Haitian mango harvest for export, ostensibly as a way to improve people’s lives. To date, however, no study has examined how such an increase may be affecting the producers beyond statistical measures. Using archival research and fieldwork in the Artibonite Department in Haiti, this article examines the social consequences of the labour process of Haitian peasants as they pick and process mangoes for export. After describing the biogeography of the mango, I describe the different systems of labour used in mango harvesting. I argue that the growth and harvesting of Haitian mangoes for export reflects social differentiation between those who can organize labour according to monetized relations and those who incorporate the domestic unit into commodity production. Furthermore, as more production shifts to work based upon monetized relations, the balance of economic power shifts towards adult men.

殖民主义的果实：海地北部芒果作为商品的生产

2010 年地震后，海地和全球的许多利益相关者共同努力增加海地芒果的出口产量，表面上是为了改善人们的生活。然而，迄今为止，还没有研究调查过这种增加如何影响生产者超出统计指标。本文利用海地阿蒂博尼特部门的档案研究和实地调查，考察了海地农民在采摘和加工芒果以供出口时劳动过程的社会后果。在描述了芒果的生物地理之后，我描述了芒果收获中使用的不同劳动系统。我认为，用于出口的海地芒果的生长和收获反映了能够根据货币化关系组织劳动力的人和将国内单位纳入商品生产的人之间的社会分化。此外，随着越来越多的生产转向基于货币化关系的工作，经济力量的平衡向成年男性转移。
