Caribbean Sociology
Caribbean Sociology is designed to introduce students to the region of the Caribbean from a Sociological perspective. In the process of learning about the Caribbean, students will also be exposed to alternative interpretations and formulations of traditional Western Sociological concepts and ways of thinking. The objective is therefore two fold: To expand the knowledge base of students concerning other peoples and their culture, i.e. to increase their awareness of Difference and Otherness, and to create in them a critical consciousness of the need to modify and make adjustments to received sociological information, if it is to be applicable to non-industrialized dependent capitalist societies.
