This book is about the struggles of female and male descendants of Indian indentured migrants in Trinidad in the first half of the twentieth century, each desiring to preserve some aspects of the gender system brought from India between 1845 and 1917, which were important to their continued definition of ethnic identity and community in Trinidad. At the same time the situation of migration allows for challenges to the caste system of Hinduism and, for women and some men, new opportunities to confront the more restricting aspect of Indian patriarchy which followed them across the seas from India.

PATRICIA MOHAMMED is Head of the Centre for Gender and Development Studies at the University of West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica. She has published extensively on gender and feminist studies and is co-editor of Gender in Caribbean Development and co-author with Althea Perkins of Caribbean Women at the Crossroads.
