| Synopsis: |
Recent discussion of postmodern culture describes a movement from center to periphery, privileging cultures that were formerly marginalized. Women and Change in the Caribbean, a study of women marginalized by both gender and race in a region such as the Caribbean itself marginalized in global terms attempts to extract insights relevant both within and beyond geographical confines.This volume offers a feminist interpretation of a multicultural society emerging from colonialism and in the process of change and restructuring. The nineteen chapters include case studies of fifteen different Caribbean territories including Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Grenada, and Guyana. The book is divided into two sections: the first looks at women s status and gender relations in the private and public spheres; the second looks at women s economic activity. Taking a broad pan-Caribbean comparative view contributors discuss territories with American, British, Dutch, Danish, French, and Spanish colonial traditions and current political links.The contributors come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including agriculture, anthropology, economics, geography, history, sociology, and women s studies." |
