There is now a significant body of Caribbean sociological literature, much of which is either scattered, difficult to access or out of print.
This book addresses the problem by bringing the literature together in a single volume.
This reader is primarily intended for undergraduate sociology students but will prove useful for courses in Caribbean sociology at several levels.
