For this latest edition, the authors returned to Barbados to update the changing face of life in St. Lucy, the parish behind Gods backthe islands most rural district. After discussing Barbadoss colonial history as a plantation society based on slavery and the economys recent conversion from sugar to tourism, they turn to everyday life in St. Lucy: patterns of work, gender relations, religion, and the meaning of community. The book concludes by examining the global forces and mediatelevision, tourism, travel, and the Internetthat connect villagers to the outside and most directly affect their lives. Written with students in mind, this highly readable, illustrated, and thought-provoking account is ideal for courses in cultural anthropology and Caribbean studies. An appendix describes the changes North American students experienced as a result of participating in the anthropology field schools the authors ran in Barbados over a twenty-year period.

Set along both the physical and social margins of the British Empire in the second half of the seventeenth century, Everyday Life in the Early English Caribbean explores the construction of difference through the everyday life of colonial subjects. Jenny Shaw examines how marginalized colonial subjects—Irish and Africans—contributed to these processes. By emphasizing their everyday experiences Shaw makes clear that each group persisted in its own cultural practices; Irish and Africans also worked within—and challenged—the limits of the colonial regime. Shaw's research demonstrates the extent to which hierarchies were in flux in the early modern Caribbean, allowing even an outcast servant to rise to the position of island planter, and underscores the fallacy that racial categories of black and white were the sole arbiters of difference in the early English Caribbean. The everyday lives of Irish and Africans are obscured by sources constructed by elites. Through her research, Jenny Shaw overcomes the constraints such sources impose by pushing methodological boundaries to fill in the gaps, silences, and absences that dominate the historical record. By examining legal statutes, census material, plantation records, travel narratives, depositions, interrogations, and official colonial correspondence, as much for what they omit as for what they include, Everyday Life in the Early English Caribbean uncovers perspectives that would otherwise remain obscured. This book encourages readers to rethink the boundaries of historical research and writing and to think more expansively about questions of race and difference in English slave societies.

"Resilience" has become a key term in conceptualising people's resourcefulness in the face of hardship. Rooted in Euro-American assumptions of normal development and the conditions of daily life, prevailing notions of "resilience" individualize the phenomenon and disqualify local, culturally and contextually appropriate practices which shape the phenomenon. Nowhere is this more potentially harmful than in indigenous communities or developing societies subject to neocolonial and neoliberal conditions of existence. Evidence suggests that the historical, social, political and economic context within which the lives of middle class Black Barbadians unfold, and how they live culturally may not be accounted for in the dominant conceptualization of "resilience" or by the prevailing methodologies used to study the phenomenon. Using a Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology, the objective of this study was to develop a locally relevant theory of Black Barbadian "resilience". I interviewed 20 middle class Black Barbadians who saw themselves as effectively dealing with difficulties in their daily lives; 10 persons who had supported them in doing so; and 5 individuals who were considered experts across the Caribbean region on themes which emerged as central to how participants were successfully navigating difficulties. I also reviewed policies, legislation, international and local status reports and other documents which reflected these themes. I engaged a number of strategies from the outset to insure that my analysis was credible and transferable. Bein' uh work in progress captures the ongoing, non-linear process of how middle class Black Barbadian participants effectively deal with significant difficulties in their everyday lives. The theory consists of three constructs: de ting dat get me, wha yuh's do, and work in progress. This theory helps to expand our understanding of the nature of "normal development", "adversity", effective responses to "adversity", and the overall process of "resilience" as shaped by local conditions and the ways in which people live culturally. The theory can also help us to conceptualize "resilience" as an ongoing process, with a collective dimension. Finally, the theory provides some considerations for designing policies and programs towards improving the lives of middle class Black Barbadians.

"When Emancipation came in 1938, Blacks in Barbados imagined that the terms of their everyday lives would undergo radical change. Instead, an unrelenting landless freedom would be violently imposed upon a community whose conditions of life and work remained largely unchanged, on plantations that produced more sugar with less labour for below subsistence wages. It was the rule of the Great House that subverted the promise of Emancipation. This is the story of the post-Emancipation betrayal of 83, 000 Blacks in Barbados; it is also a narration of how these Blacks prepared for persistent resistance and civil war as the only means to effectively break the rule of the Great House and establish preconditions for genuine Emancipation. The battles over progress were fought on the plantations, in the streets, in the courts, in the Legislative Councils and wherever Blacks recognised sites to effect change. This chain of organised rebellion was linked to produce the 1876 rebellion. Against this background of 19th century popular protest and workers agitation, the modern labour movement, the anti-colonial campaign and the agitation for democratic governance came to maturity by the 1920s. The final breach in the walls of the structure of white supremacy was achieved in 1937 when, under the ideological leadership of Clement Payne, workers took to the streets and fields with arms. Professor Beckles argues that this unbroken chain of protest and political activity from 1838 to the 1937 Riots constitute the Hundred Year War against Great House Rules. It had taken a full century of struggle after emancipation to see, even at a distance, the freedom that was promised by the abolition of slavery legislation. Written in a clear, discourse style, the author succeeds in presenting the text as an accessible document for public consumption, rather than a dense academic work. "

Essays in this special focus constellate around the diverse symbolic forms in which Caribbean consciousness has manifested itself transhistorically, shaping identities within and without structures of colonialism and postcolonialism. Offering interdisciplinary critical, analytical and theoretical approaches to the objects of study, the book explores textual, visual, material and ritual meanings encoded in Caribbean lived and aesthetic practices.
