ways in which Native and Euro-American fishermen, local

have imagined, shaped, exploited, managed salmon fishery
and its resources, arranged it to conform to
understandable patterns of social organization, endowed
it with cultural meaning; transformation of salmon fishery in
southeastern Alaska from aboriginal resource to
industrial commodity: 1) tribal peoples managed
fisheries with strict notion of property rights; 2)
Euro-Americans established "common-property" fishery
when they arrived in late 19th century; 3) federal
conservation officials tried "improving" upon nature,
promoted economic efficiency in 20th century -
uncritically embraced scientific planning, disregarded
local knowledge, degraded salmon habitat, encouraged
backlash from small-boat fishermen.

1876-1916 - period of most dramatic sugar expansion in Tucumán
province of Argentina (export economy dominated by coffee and
sugar); catered exclusively to needs of expanding domestic
market, financed mostly by domestic capital; expansion of sugar
production did not produce massive land dispossession (sugar
mills relied on outside growers for supply of large share of
sugarcane); arrival of thousands of workers from neighboring
provinces transformed rural society profoundly; revenues from
sugar enabled provincial government to participate in
modernizing movement sweeping turn-of-the-century Argentina
(helped drive Argentina's modernization, centralization of
federal Argentine state); unique features that characterized
sugar production in Tucumán, changes experienced by province’s
economy, society.
