Publisher Summary This chapter presents personal remarks on sociological research in the third world. The nondescribed burden of the underdeveloped countries of the third world is that they have become research locales for legions of American social scientists. Graduate students writing doctoral theses and established scholars pursue their peripatetic studies in growing numbers. As the number of social scientists going abroad increases, there will be an effort to report the implementation and theoretical assumptions, and the results of their studies. The chapter presents a study that sought to uncover the forces affecting attitudes and actions toward political independence among the top leaders of the emerging nations of the British Caribbean: Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Barbados, and the smaller islands comprising the Leeward and Windward island chains. The study revealed a diversity of beliefs, a dynamic and changing system, and a problematic future within which the hopes people have and the actions that they take can affect their future in significant ways
