It is commonly assumed that Caribbean culture is split into elite highbrow culture--which is considered derivative of Europe--and authentic working-class culture, which is often identified with such iconic island activities as salsa, carnival, calypso, and reggae. This book recovers a middle ground, a genuine popular culture in the English-speaking Caribbean that stretches back into the nineteenth century. It shows that popular novels, beauty pageants, and music festivals are examples of Caribbean culture that are mostly created, maintained, and consumed by the Anglophone middle class. Much of middle-class culture is further gendered as "female": women are more apt to be considered recreational readers of fiction, for example, and women's behavior outside the home is often taken as a measure of their community's respectability. The book also highlights the influence of American popular culture, especially African American popular culture, as early as the nineteenth century.
Caribbean Elegance is an illustrated survey of the lifestyles, dwellings and varied furniture styles and decor of the island groups that make up the Caribbean region. It also includes a brief history of the islands and their economies.
In 1946, Robertson Ward embarked on the Caribbean's most successful architectural endeavor: Mill Reef Club. At a time when images of nuclear war stalked the American imagination and architects were preoccupied with the grimmer strains of modernism—skyscrapers, airports, and bunkers—Ward rebelled, creating instead the Mill Reef Club. This book presents an illustrated study of his amazing vision.
