    The Coffee Planter of Saint Domingo:A Technical Manual for the Caribbean Slave Owner ↗
    John Wilson Ramey
    Abstract

    In 1798, Laborie published a manual with detailed instructions for building a coffee plantation, for example, how to purchase and care for slaves, design plantation buildings, and maintain authority. Laborie's language is that behind the institution of slavery: Slaves are property and thus relate to economic success. Through this review, we investigate historical technical documents to see how our past informs our present and how our attention to technical communication today can inform the future.
