Abstract


In the end of the 19th Century and coincideing with the slavery abolition process, Cuban sugar sector suffered a strong transformation to keep its efficiency, wich has resultat the separation between agrarian and industrial parts of the ingenio. The colonato arose as an effect of this separation, to take charge of the cane supply, Institution not very studied in spite of its socio-economic importance. Our paper analizes its origins in relation to the two factors wich determinated it: the aforementioned efficiency of the sugar production and the necessity of attracting white inmigrations to one island sacarely populated to countereact the influence of the black element.
