Description:

Provides a unifying anthropological perspective for comparing Hispanic and Afro-Creole Caribbean societies, reviewing how Caribbean colonial experiences have structured differences in the race, class, and ethnic/national identities of the peoples living in these two Caribbean traditions. Examines how this resulted in different cultural forms and ideological orientations as the cultural legacies of the various peoples of the Caribbean underwent processes of creolization. Addresses issues of identity and empowerment in relation to Caribbean diaspora, tourism, and efforts to develop Pan-Caribbean institutions and a Pan-Caribbean consciousness.
