Indo-Caribbean Masculinities and Indo-Caribbean Feminisms: Where Are We Now?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Indo-Caribbean Feminist Thought

Part of the book series: New Caribbean Studies ((NCARS))

Abstract

Over the last four decades a significant body of feminist scholarship by and about Indo-Caribbean women has emerged. The same is not true for Indo-Caribbean men. The now classic essay by Neils Sampath (1993) continues to have resonance with its application of Peter Wilson’s “reputation and respectability” framework to Indo-Trinidadian male youth; yet much has changed since 1993. Using multidisciplinary sources, this chapter reviews the scholarship on Indo-Caribbean masculinities in the context of Caribbean masculinity discourses and the larger body of Indo-Caribbean and Caribbean feminist writing.
