HUMAN REPRODUCTION FARMS: RACE AS AN AGRIBUSINESS TECHNOLOGY IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

The present work aims to denote the role of race as an agribusiness technology in the modern international system, against the backdrop of the intra-Caribbean slavery system between the United States and Brazil. For this, it is understood that intra-Caribbean slavery was central and generated a large trade, in the form of agribusiness, with the sale of humans and the production of sugar in the Brazilian northeast. In this sense, the main argument of the work is that race made racial capitalism a central technology for the international colonial system for Europe. In order to develop its argument, the article is structured into two sections. The first section will problematize the relationship between race, racial capitalism and technology in the global economic situation. The second section will highlight the technological dimension of colonies with human reproduction farms in the USA in the intra-American and intra-Caribbean format to continue the exploitation of black labor. The debate present in this work contributes to the production and understanding of racial capitalism, as well as the historical contribution of slavery and its expansion throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and North America, thus analyzing them in a multidimensional way, enabling emancipatory horizons.
