Marion O'Callaghn, Race, class and gender. The case of Trinidad
Race, class and gender raise certain theoretical issues not only with regard to linkages but also with regard to ways in which exclusion is arranged, social mobility restricted, social formations inter-lock, group boundaries maintained and ideology — or ideologies — formulated.
In this article one society is studied : Trinidad, in the former British West Indies. Trinidad is studied over a period of time from Spanish conquest until the 1970's. Historical sociology is used in order to pin-point certain key features which govern the incorporation of certain groups into Trinidad society and the differential incorporation of women into slave plantation and colonial societies. A complex picture to emerges. At every level woman are incorporated into different segments of the economy even where as a "group" or "race" that race 'itself is specifically incorporated and ranked. Sexism serves to perpetuate racial exclusion while the concept of the "natural" permits the perpetuation of barriers both by "sex" and by race'. Both categories are social categories created socially and maintained socially. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
