The white minority and the emancipation process in Montserrat, 1807-32
Author focuses on the governing élites and argues that salient features of their behaviour and attitudes were responses to the emancipation process. They objected to the abolition of slavery and the divergence of the society they lived in from the ideals they envisioned. Concludes that the élite's harsh responses to change exacerbated rather than strengthened their fragile political and economic status

Hidden Places and Creole Forms: Naming the Barbudan Landscape
The decline of fieldwork in human geography in the United States is reflected in place name studies of the last 30 years, which have been founded on maps alone. Research in Barbuda, Lesser Antilles, demonstrates the importance of human informants and observations in the field for gathering toponymic information, and shows the axiom that place names alone are evidence of past landscapes and land uses to be unreliable. The study tests some accepted…

Free Labor and the Economy in Seventeenth-Century Montserrat
O AF all the colonies of seventeenth-century English America, the Leeward Islands have been the most inscrutable. Politically inconspicuous and meagerly documented for most of the century, they have engaged little scholarly attention except as a group or as part of a larger project.1 Individual studies of the four islands-Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, and St. Christopher-as they were in the seventeenth century, barely exist.2

Subsistence cultivation in the Caribbean
Subsistence cultivation on small plots is a marked characteristic of rural life in the Caribbean islands, as it is in most areas in the American tropics. It closely resembles the subsistence cultivation systems of neighboring areas and has been classified as a subcategory of American tropical forest agriculture (Denevan 1980; Katz, Hediger & Valleroy 1974: 769). Yet its practitioners are not natives of the American tropics, but the descendants of…

A Worldwide Evolutionary Classification of Cultures by Subsistence Systems [and Comments and Reply]
Comparative ethnology now provides the data by which all known cultures can be usefully arrayed in an evolutionary series on the basis of their subsistence systems. The isight is an old one, but the massing of evidence about expressive,as well as societal and ecological, patterns which the computer makes possible lends new weight to an evolutionary treatment of cultural variation. The main data for our experiment consisted of the codings for food…
The Social and Economic Role of Cattle in Barbuda
Production and division of labor in a West Indian peasant community
Subsistence and cash production on the West Indian island of Barbuda fall into two organizational categories: that for which household personnel is sufficient and that for which personnel from different households must organize into a cooperative team. This difference in productive organization is associated with exclusive areas of social and economic responsibility divided between men and women, although physical labor sometimes overlaps. Underl…
