Fertility decline during rapid urbanisation: The influence of class and kinship
Spontaneous urban settlements
Transformation of African and Indian Family Traditions in the Southern Caribbean
Around the Caribbean, it is commonly believed that slavery and the plantation system have been responsible for the prevalence of short-term consensual unions, matrifocal households and children out of wedlock who grow up without the authority and support of a father or definite father- surrogate. This explanation is accepted as often by social scientists as by public opinion. Of course, this is the obverse of the line of Western social thought ma…
Jobs and Housing: Alternative Developments in the Venezuelan Guayana
The appraisal of development projects is often complicated by the fact that they rarely occur in isolation.

Therefore the bourgeois liberalization of agriculture instituted by Napoleon and continued by subsequent regimes produced various results, which have had long-term consequences for economic development. Judging by the Italian experience, bourgeois liberalization ultimately led to one of three consequences for rural souther…
