      145 145. The provision ground system has been called the foundation for a ‘proto-peasantry’ by Mintz, as noted earlier and it was, indeed, cherished by the slaves in allowing some respite from the surveillance of the slaveholders, but one should be careful not to miss the fact that it was another element of exploitation. The system, in fact, did not quite work in that the slaves were chronically undernourished, and many lived on the verge of starvation with the risk of outright famine and mass starvation when hurricanes, drought and wars struck. See The Sociology of Slavery, pp. 216–18. Kenneth Kiple, 1984, The Caribbean Slave: A biological History, Cambridge University Press, pp. 66–70. See also, Richard B.

      149 149. The striking differences in the demographic patterns of North America and the West Indies were remarked on from the late 18th century and used in abolitionist advocacy. See B. W. Higman, 1984, Slave Populations of the British Caribbean, 1807–1834, pp. 305–6. It was noted by W. E. B. DuBois in his Black Reconstruction in America 1860–1880, Russell & Russell, 1935, p. 4. Philip Curtin drew closer attention to it in his 1969 work, The Atlantic Slave Trade: A Census, University of Wisconsin Press, pp. 88–91; as did Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman, in their 1974 study, Time on the Cross, W. W. Norton, p. 25.
