Family in the Caribbean

Christine Barrow

This book provides a comprehensive review of the extensive literature on the family, household and conjugal unions in the Caribbean. It is constructed around six themes prominent in Caribbean family studies, namely: definitions of the family, plural and creole society, social structure, gender roles and relationships, methodology, history and social change. The authors objective is to provide a clearer understanding to pave the way for future investigations and to bury finally the ethnocentric images of Caribbean family patterns as pathological, deviant and disorganised.
