Her publisher, LSU Press, will host a virtual event on Facebook featuring Jennings on Tuesday, Dec. 15, at 3 p.m. EST as part of their Remote Author Series. She will read and discuss selections from her book.
According to the publisher, “‘Constructing the Spanish Empire in Havana’ examines the political economy surrounding the use of enslaved laborers in the capital of Spanish imperial Cuba from 1762 to 1835. Jennings demonstrates that the Spanish state’s policies and practices in the ownership and employment of enslaved workers after 1762 served as a bridge from an economy based on imperial service to a rapidly expanding plantation economy in the 19th century.”
