ABSTRACT

In the mid 19^th century, plantations began to spread across multiple geographies of the Global South. This paper discusses this particular institution and phenomena, by focusing on the Atlantic circulation of coffee plants, agronomic knowledge and racialized labour practices. Combining approaches from mobilities studies and history of technology, it argues that plantations are particularly well suited to grasp the dynamics of displacement and resettling, and to connect the global and the local scales. More specifically, this paper follows a group of men, directly or indirectly involved in the trade of enslaved persons from Angola to Brazil, and analyses what travelled along with them, namely, plantation artifacts, technologies and ideas about labour and race. By doing so, it unveils the hidden links between the Paraíba Valley and São Tomé, and shows how plantations moved between these localities, and adapted to different social and natural environments.

摘要

在19月中旬^日世纪以来，人工林开始遍及全球南方的多个地区。本文通过关注咖啡植物的大西洋流通，农艺知识和种族化的劳动实践来讨论这一特殊的制度和现象。它结合了交通研究和技术历史的方法，认为人工林特别适合于掌握流离失所和移民的动态，并连接全球和地方尺度。更具体地说，本文遵循一群直接或间接参与从安哥拉到巴西的被奴役者贸易的人，并分析了随行者，包括人工林人工制品，技术以及关于劳动和种族的观念。这样一来，它揭示了帕拉伊巴山谷和圣多美之间的隐藏联系，
