Reviews

“It is a very important contribution to cultural and development studies and other fields - and will, without doubt, find its way to teaching and research bibliographies.” • Tom Selwyn, Research Associate at SOAS and a Visiting Professor at Breda University, The Netherlands, and Bethlehem University

Description

The views of space and place of people living in the Caribbean are different from Northern folk; Inequality is bound to socially constructed traits like race, gender, class, sexual orientation and other aspects of discrimination. Through interconnected perspectives on environment, gender inequality, identity and Caribbean spatial re-colonisation influences on social, cultural and environmental landscapes, The Inequity of Caribbean Spaces and Designed Places: Race, Class and Gender examines socio-spatial (in)justices beyond physical and geographical boundaries that Caribbean societies face.
