Abstract

Like monkeys pleading for evolution, each claiming to be whiter than the other, Indians and Negroes appeal to the unacknowledged white audience to see how much they despise one another. They despise one another by reference to whites; and the irony is that their antagonism should have reached its peak today, when white prejudices have ceased to matter. Studies of social stratification, race, ethnicity and pluralism have characterised Caribbean social science since its inception so to speak in and around the 1950s.
