Defining the Caymanian Identity

The Effects of Globalization, Economics, and Xenophobia on Caymanian Culture

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the schisms throughout the Cayman Islands to identify who or what is considered a Caymanian. Caymanian traditions have all but been eclipsed, often due to overpowering cultural sensibilities. Williams investigates the pervasive effects of globalization, multiculturalism, economics, and xenophobia on indigenous Caymanian culture.
