Abstract

The author questions some of the major theoretical assumptions concerning the causal factors responsible for the mating patterns and sexual practices among certain Caribbean societies. It is suggested that present-day patterns and family structures among West Indian societies can be attributed to the plantation system of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries rather than to the African origins of those concerned.
