Family Love in the Diaspora: Migration and the Anglo-Caribbean Experience
ISBN: 9780765803078 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Colonial social policy in the British West Indies from the nineteenth century onward assumed that black families lacked morals, structure, and men, a void that explained poverty and lack of citizenship. African-Caribbean families appeared as the mirror opposite of the -ideal- family advocated by the white, colonial authorities. Yet contrary to this image, what provided continuity in the period and contributed to survival was in fact the strength of family connections, their inclusivity and support. This study is based on 150 life story narratives across three generations of forty-five...
