Summary

Durante las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, el proceso de formación de la sociedad cubana se configuraba como  un variado híbrido cultural, de la tradición española dominante y la africana esclavizada, pero poderosa ante su mayoría demográfica.
Fue en este contexto donde se acrecientan las preocupaciones de las autoridades españolas de la Isla. Temían que los hechos acontecidos en Haití, donde los negros tomaron el poder. Por esta razón el poder empieza a potenciar formas para limitar la preponderancia de la raza negra en la Isla.
Con la aplicación en Cuba de esta real cédula

- quedaban derogadas todas las leyes y disposiciones legales que limitaban la entrada de inmigrantes y extranjeros a la isla. Así se abría una nueva vía.
- Se facilitaba la entrada de familias españolas y, a falta de éstas, extranjeras de países amigos, que cumplieran los requisitos establecidos en la real cédula.
- Las condiciones establecidas hacían referencia al color, religión y ocupación laboral.
- Los colonos deberían ser blancos, desempeñar oficios productivos como albañil, tonelero, labrador, carpintero, picapedrero, etc. y católicos. Sin esta última condición los extranjeros no podrían domiciliarse.La Real Cédula, 21 de octubre de 1817, sobre aumentar la población blanca de la Isla de Cuba fue promulgada por Fernando VII. Lo hizo a instancia de la Real Sociedad Económica de La Habana y pretendió la fomentar la inmigración de blancos católicos a Cuba.

Dutch East India Company and...

Editors Charles River

To many, the mention of maritime merchants evokes an imagery of growling pirates donned in their stereotypical hats and a colorful parrot perched upon their shoulders. These nautical rascals wander the high seas in search of treasure and adventure. Though that imagery may be inaccurate, the real life companies that once dominated international waters operated on a similar thirst for conquest and riches. 
	Perhaps the most famous – or as many would put it, infamous – of these naval corporations was the Dutch East India Company, also known as V O C. Established around the beginning of the 17th century, this nautical behemoth of a corporation was determined to squeeze everyone else out of the market. Vested with the power to wage war and exterminate any who dared stand in their way, the rest of the world stood by as the unstoppable force took over the whole of international maritime trade. The company would crush its opponents on the way to the top, establishing a monopoly on the global spice trade that would not only rock the world but forever change the course of modern business history.  
	Likewise, the British East India Company served as one of the key players in the formation of the British Empire. From its origins as a trading company struggling to keep up with its superior Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish competitors to its tenure as the ruling authority of the Indian subcontinent to its eventual hubristic downfall, the East India Company serves as a lens through which to explore the much larger economic and social forces that shaped the formation of a global British Empire. As a private company that became a non-state global power in its own right, the East India Company also serves as a cautionary tale all too relevant to the modern world’s current political and economic situation.
