Originally published in 1973, this edition includes a new introduction by Raymond T. Smith, reflecting on the ongoing relevance of the matrifocal family model and its implications for understanding power dynamics, pluralism, and political struct…

Living in the gun mouth
Argues that whatever racial antipathies exist in Guyana today are not the same of those of the 1960s. The author reviews the 'racial violence' of the 1950s and 1960s. He concludes that the politics of that era was a complex process in which many elements were involved and not simply the outcome of racial antagonism or the reassertion of colonial hegemonic values

Kinship and Class in the West Indies
Is a family system that permits freedom to enter, dissolve, and re-enter sexual unions, that tolerates high illegitimacy rates, and allows a large proportion of households to be headed by women, viable, natural and healthy? This is an appropriate question to ask of many modern industrial societies in the 1980s. Yet a system with just those factors has been in place in the West Indies for 150 years. In this book, Raymond T. Smith explores the exte…

Family, social change and social policy in the West Indies
For Europe and North America there is a large literature devoted to the evaluation of social policies; for the Caribbean it is often difficult to find out what the policies are, much less how they are actually implemented. Most social welfare agencies in the Commonwealth West Indies have the shape and direction which they acquired during the colonial period, and in spite of some recent new departures it is to that period we must refer in order to…

Now in its twenty-fifth anniversary edition, Maroon Societies is a systematic study of the communities formed by escaped slaves in the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States.

The volume includes eyewitness accounts written by escaped slaves and their pursuers, as wel…

Culture and Social Structure in the Caribbean
The territories of the circum-Caribbean region contain some of the most complex societies in the world. Their complexity lies not in their size, degree of internal differentiation or technological development, but in the dependent and fragmented nature of their cultures, the ethnic diversity of their populations, the special nature of their dependent economies, the peculiarities of their political development and the apparent incoherence of their…

The Nuclear Family in Afro-American Kinship
While the universality of the "nuclear family" has been disputed by a number of anthropological writers the problem hasa always been to specify what is meant by this term. Here it is suggested that there are three analytically separable ways of looking at the nuclear family; as a cultural construct of very general definitional significance; as a unitary system of normative emphasis in which the roles of husbandfather, wife-mother, son-brother and…
Some social characteristics of Indian immigrants to British Guiana
An analysis of the characteristics of a sample of East Indian indentured immigrants who entered British Guiana between 1865 and 1917 shows that the age, sex and caste characteristics of the immigrants are similar to those of East Indian migrants to other British colonies such as Fiji. The majority of the immigrants were Hindus belonging to the agricultural castes and on the basis of an analysis of recorded places of birth it is shown that approxi…
