Gender, Reproduction and
Economic Culture
 Africans were accustomed to huckstering- the sale of
food or other goods they produced on a small scale.
 Huckstering was certainly as much part of their culture as
other more well known parts of African-American life,
such as religion and arts.
 Huckstering gave those enslaved the opportunity to
improve the quantity and quality of their nutrition in
environments where most people were malnourished.
 They were attracted to huckstering because of their
social isolation and because of the difficult conditions
under which they lived because of slavery.
 The word higgler came from England to Jamaica; it is
rarely used there, whereas it is in common use in
Jamaica to denote a seller of any kind of small produce
or goods; formerly an itinerant peddler, now also one who
brings produce into a market to sell. (Cassidy, LePage:
1967)
 The word higgler is related to the English to hack and
to haggle, to argue with a vendor. Haggle has the
variant higgle. A higgler forms the link between the
isolated small farmers and the market, usually a woman
of the neighbourhood or a nearby area, who walks and
buys produce to take to the market. (Katzin: 1959)
 The enslaved Africans raised poultry and animals, as well
as cultivated roots, vegetables and fruits. The small
gardens attached to huts of those enslaved were pretty
well cultivated.
 The slaves cultivated their yams, tannias, plaintains,
bananas, sweet potatoes, okras, pineapples and Indian
corn.
 The enslaved planted a luxuriant foliage of trees that
bear sweet and pleasant fruits, such as mango, the Java
plum, the breadfruit, the soursop, the sabadilla and the
pomegranate.

 In Jamaican towns there was a sharper sexual division of
work than in the country parts where both women and
men were cultivators.
 In the ports the men were artisans, seamen, coopers,
butchers, fishermen, droghers and the like. Some of the
women were in domestic service as cooks, nannies and
washerwomen, but they dominated marketing and they
became a powerful force.
