    “Antigua is a small place, a small island,” nine by twelve miles long, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 (Kincaid, 80). Europeans later settled on the island along with the slaves they imported. In A Small Place, Kincaid described the Europeans as “Human rubbish,” who took “noble and exalted human beings from Africa” to enslave them (80). She made no effort to conceal her thoughts about the little island consumed by the after effects of colonialism. Driven by anger and resentment toward Antiqua’s British implemented culture, Kincaid explored the intricacy of the after…

As a black boy he witnesses how his people live, in a small village where they all work cutting canes and barely earn a living. Meanwhile the white planters produced immense wealth and lived a life of comfort and prosperity. The black workers are often short on money when they buy food and the planters fined them for the smallest infractions. At a very young age Jose understood that the color of one’s skin defined your position in society, basically the lighter the shade the higher the rank in the social ladder. He noticed this with his mulatto friend Leopold whose father was a white planter and his mother a black woman. Leopold had better life chances than the rest of the black kids because of his background but his only problem was that he could not inherit his father’s last name. The reason being that the white people feared the mulattos climbing up the social ladder and eventually having black people in that higher social class.…

    In the Caribbean there has been a drastic shift in the relationship between men and women. Men, who were traditionally seen to be the head of the household, now have their roles taken over by the women in Caribbean society. Due to men failing to live up to their responsibilities, especially in the economic sense, the women are forced to take advantage of education, not only to better themselves but to also prove their indispensability in the social and economic framework of the society. These newly found duties are coupled with their own traditional roles as mother, nurturers and care. Women are now major contributors to their society. Women these days are more independent than in the past. There is a greater demand more from their lives and they now choose how they want to live. This could be a reason for the increase in divorces over the last half a century. This independence has also meant more single women. This shift in the relationship between men and women in the Caribbean could also be as a result of women’s movements where the view of the hegemonic femininity has affected the way in which most women are viewing their life and are becoming more like men. Women were now doing male oriented subjects such as physics, technical drawing etc., which might increase the job opportunities for these women and more women have taken advantage equal rights policies which would allow them to be treated equal to males. This paper will research how, due to educational opportunities and the development of equal rights for women, there is a radical change in the male-female relationships.…
