Juan Castañer was a Mallorcan who emigrated to Puerto Rico as a youth, went to work on the coffee hacienda of a fellow Mallorcan, became mayordomo of the hacienda, and opened a little store in the countryside. With profits from the store, he purchased some land and started his own coffee hacienda. So began a remarkable career that led to the establishment of a large coffee hacienda near Lares and a successful trading company in Yauco.
On the basis of commercial account books, letters, and interviews with descendants of Castañer and a few old workers or descendants of workers on the hacienda, Luis E. Díaz Hernández has traced the career of Castañer and the development of the enterprises that bore his name. The book is strongest when it is outlining the commercial dynamic that served as a basis for the accumulation of land: the cycle of credit and debt that forced small peasants and hacendados to cede their lands to Castañer. It is also strong in tracing Castañer’s increasing control over the commercialization process: from dependence on Yauco merchants to the establishment of his own firm in Yauco to the creation of direct ties with European houses after Castañer had returned to Mallorca and left his enterprises under the control of his descendants.
One of the weakest aspects of the book is its analysis of hacienda social relations and the lives of workers. The commercial account books did not include the work records and accounts of the hacienda, and the author’s interviews in this area do not provide much detail.
