Description

Eudine Barriteau exposes the precarious position of women in 20th- century Caribbean societies through analyzing the operations of gender systems. She reveals the absence of gender justice and equity, and demonstrates that after 25 years of policies on women, Caribbean societies still have not confronted the fundamental problem of women's subordination and the conditions that maintain this. The strategies used by developing states to focus on women are criticized as inadequate and it is recommended that state and society pay more attention to understanding the lives of women.
