With understated wit and human empathy, Horowitz introduces readers to the post-slavery, peasant-based Creole culture of one inland agricultural village in Martinique, an island of the West Indies. The book is ambitious in that it provides both a well-rounded case study of the peasant village as well as a valuable historical and comparative perspective. Detailed discussions include housing and household structure, agriculture and markets, the life course, and religious, economic and political issues. Much of the material presented is relevant to the neighboring islands and is the more useful because the last chapter summarizes studies on somewhat similar villages elsewhere in the Caribbean.
