Caribbean Families: Diversity Among Ethnic Groups

by Jaipaul L. Roopnarine (Editor), Janet Brown (Editor)

Overview

The Caribbean is known more as a tropical paradise than as an area composed of diverse ethnic and political groups, the majority of whom live on the edge of poverty. This set of conceptual and empirical papers focuses on the diversity of ethnic groups in Caribbean families. The essays examine ethnic origins, social structures, family structures, and intellectual, social and clinical problems and their treatment.
