Tourism and the Caribbean

Tourism is a major industry in the Caribbean, and it has a significant impact on the region's culture and economy. In this book, the authors explore the ways in which tourism has shaped Caribbean culture, and how it has been shaped by Caribbean culture.

They argue that tourism has led to the commodification of Caribbean culture, and that this has had a negative impact on the region's identity and authenticity. However, they also argue that tourism has created new opportunities for Caribbean people to express their culture and to share it with the world.

The Caribbean Diaspora

The Caribbean diaspora is another important force in the region's culture. Millions of Caribbean people have migrated to other countries, and they have taken their culture with them. This has led to the creation of new Caribbean communities around the world.

In this book, the authors explore the ways in which the Caribbean diaspora has influenced Caribbean culture. They argue that the diaspora has helped to preserve and promote Caribbean culture, and that it has also created new forms of Caribbean expression.

Sexuality in Caribbean Culture

Sexuality is a complex and contested issue in Caribbean culture. In this book, the authors explore the ways in which sexuality has been shaped by tourism and the diaspora.

They argue that tourism has led to the sexualization of Caribbean culture, and that this has had a negative impact on the region's women and children. However, they also argue that the diaspora has created new spaces for Caribbean people to express their sexuality.
