The course is intended to provide an overview of Caribbean society and the evolution and dynamics of its culture. The major forces, external and internal, which contributed to the shaping of the region, will be discussed. In this course an attempt will be made to examine contemporary everyday life in Caribbean society, focusing on social practices such as, family, marriage, ritual, gender relations, health, music and popular culture. Although emphasis will be placed on the Anglophone Caribbean, and French, Spanish and Dutch speaking territories will also be discussed.
