Methodologies in Caribbean Research on Gender and Sexuality is a welcome text for graduate teaching in a range of fields. This much-needed text already has a place in my Black Feminist Theories classes and will definitely be usable in a range of related research practices and studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences. - Carole Boyce Davies Professor of Africana Studies and Literatures in English Cornell University This wonderful collection is a landmark in Caribbean feminist thought and studies of Caribbean social science methodology, and will be known as one of the most important texts in both fields for a generation. -Aaron Kamugisha Professor of Cultural Studies The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Methodologies in Caribbean Research on Gender and Sexuality is an inspiring volume. Kempadoo and De Shong have curated half a century of Caribbean feminist-led research to demonstrate the sheer ingenuity of the feminist vanguard that successfully established gender and women's studies across the Caribbean. The result is a radical, post-colonial intellectual flourishing of methodological innovation, grounded as much in the cultural life and work of women's movements as in the University of the West Indies. The editors treat methodology as political-intellectual praxis, making it essential reading for all those engaged in anti-colonial, counter-hegemonic or feminist work. Addressing textual, visual and bodily literacies across diverse territories, the volume as a whole reflects ongoing struggles taking place in cultural, scholarly and political movements all over the Global South, as well as the move to trans-disciplinary and multi-method studies of femininity and of masculinity. Beginning with the women's studies of the 1970's, readers are led into rich tapestry of contemporary experimentations that mark the maturation of a powerful field that is able to both produce and interrogate the historical and cultural distinctiveness of the Caribbean region. An enviable accomplishment! -Amina Mama Kwame Nkrumah Chair Institute of African Studies University of Ghana
