The Power of Sentiment: Love, Hierarchy, and the Jamaican Family Elite

by Lisa Douglass

An ethnographic study of kinship which examines the Jamaican upper class, a group previously neglected in research on the Caribbean family, despite its integral role in the kinship system. The book offers insights into what earlier studies termed the colour/class hierarchy.
