Long before Fidel Castro stood on the Malecón, Cuba was ruled by the silent monarchs of the sugar industry. In this episode, we trace the rise of the ingenios and the men who built them into empires, from the mid-19th century through the early 20th. We look at how the Zafra, or harvest season, dictated the rhythm of life for millions, turning the island into a monoculture dependent on foreign markets, particularly the United States. We meet figures like Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, who freed his own slaves to fight for independence, only to see the system persist in new forms. The episode explores the brutal mechanics of the machetero’s work, the political clout of the planters, and how economic dependency laid the groundwork for the interventions that would later define Cuban history. It is a story of wealth, exploitation, and the resilience of those who worked the fields. #CubanHistory #SugarIndustry #ZafraHarvest #IngenioPlantations #Macheteros #CarlosManuelDeCéspedes #Enganchadores #CañaDeAzúcar #Monoculture #USIntervention #CaribbeanHistory #ColonialEconomy #SlaveryAbolition #FexingoHistory #LucasAndLuna #HistoryPodcast #CubaRevolution #LatAmHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
