The Company They Kept: Migrants and the Politics of Gender in Caribbean Costa Rica, 1870-1960 New edition
Lara Putnam
In the 19th century, migrants from the USA, across the Caribbean and beyond poured into Caribbean Central America, drawn by the established banana plantations and economic booms, creating a very mixed population. This work explores the effects of this change on gender, kinship and community.
