The Power Of Sentiment
Yet the kinship practices of the family elite do not merely serve to maintain their position or promote their interests, as some critics have suggested. The elite marry according to enduring cultural dispositions about the proper ordering of color, gender, and class relations, following their sense of what "feels right." In their view, they marry not out of self-interest, but "for love." The Power of Sentiment breaks new ground in ethnographic studies of kinship. Lisa Douglass examines the upper class, a group previously neglected in research on the Caribbean family despite its integral role in the kinship system. She provides fresh insights into what earlier studies termed the color/ class hierarchy by considering how gender both affects what these categories represent and is itself a distinct dimension of the social order. The author also makes a significant contribution to theories of ideology and practice.

Afro-Creole
This wide-ranging book explores the origins, development, and character of Afro-Caribbean cultures from the slave period to the present day. Richard D. E. Burton focuses on ways in which African traditions—including those in religion, music, food, dress, and family structure—were transformed by interaction with European and indigenous forces to create the particular cultures of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Haiti. He demonstrates how the resulting Afro-Creole cultures have both challenged and reinforced the social, political, and economic status quo in these countries.Jamaican slaves opposed slavery in many ways and one of the most important, Burton suggests, was the development of Afro-Christi...

Anthropology and the Individual
Anthropology is usually associated with the study of society, but the anthropologist must also understand people as individuals. This highly original study demonstrates how methods of social analysis can be applied to the individual, while remaining entirely distinct from psychology and other perspectives on the person. Contributors draw on approaches from material culture to create fascinating portraits of individuals, offering analytical insights that convey ethnographic encounters with often extraordinary people from Turkey, Spain and Britain to Albania, Cuba, Jamaica, Mali, Serbia and Trinidad. Exploring relationships to places and spaces such as social networking sites, to persons such as parents, to ethical concerns such as fairness and to concepts such as the ideology of struggle, Anthropology and the Individual shows how the study of the individual can provide insights into society without losing a sense of the particularity of the person.
The Girl I Was
This book is about how my life was before my botched surgery. How I was happy and photographed my life with me and my friends every day. It details how USC Keck targets rhinoplasty patients for use as privately paying guinea pigs, to get their students through school due to ACGME mandates that students perform 6 rhinoplasties prior to being licensed. This means if you are lured by an affiliate clinic. I used to be pretty, my face is disabled and I wrote to book to commemorate my life from before and show how the Medical Board and agencies in America do nothing to help victims of violent criminal surgeries. They know it's happening but close complaints routinely because they make so much mone...

Downtown Ladies
The Caribbean “market woman” is ingrained in the popular imagination as the archetype of black womanhood in countries throughout the region. Challenging this stereotype and other outdated images of black women, Downtown Ladies offers a more complex picture by documenting the history of independent international traders—known as informal commercial importers, or ICIs—who travel abroad to import and export a vast array of consumer goods sold in the public markets of Kingston, Jamaica. Both by-products of and participants in globalization, ICIs operate on multiple levels and, since their emergence in the 1970s, have made significant contributions to the regional, national, and global ec...
Ethnicity in the Caribbean
Race and biologized conceptions of ethnicity have been potent factors in the making of the Americas. They remain crucial, even if more ambiguously than before. This collection of essays addresses the workings of ethnicity in the Caribbean, a part of the Americas where, from the early days of empire through today’s post-colonial limbo, this phenomenon has arguably remained in the center of public society as well as private life. These analyses of race and nation-building, increasingly significant in today’s world, are widely pertinent to the study of current and international relations. The ten prominent scholars contributing to this book focus on the significance of ethnicity for social ...
