Customer Reviews

Unusual insight on women's lives throughout the Caribbean.

Over twenty scholars on Caribbean and gender studies, including Jean Stubbs, Rhoda Reddock, Riva Berleant-Schiller, and Huguette Dagenais, contribute to this unique anthology on social and economic issues pivotal to women's lives and work in the Caribbean region, from Curacao to Jamaica, from Dominica to the Dominican Republic, from Puerto Rico to Venezuela. The quality of the research is impeccable. The book contains a wealth of information difficult to find in other sources, such as tables created from population census data in Guadeloupe and Montserrat, or a whole table on "Caribbean Statistics with Special Reference to Women." An invaluable resource to any student of gender issues in the Caribbean region, or beyond. -- Janis Palm
