Engendering History: Caribbean Women in Historical Perspective

Engendering History broadens the base of empirical knowledge on Caribbean women's history and re-evaluates the body of work that exists. The book is pan-Caribbean in its approach, though most articles are on the English-speaking Caribbean, highlighting the research pattern in Caribbean women's history.  Engendering History: Caribbean Women in Historical Perspective, the outcome of an international symposium held at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in November 1993, is designed to contribute to the ongoing interpretive debate which is an important marker of the relatively new field of women's history.
