Sommario/riassunto

Domestic violence, interpersonal violence, intimate partner violence, or gender-based violence continues to be a social problem that is rarely understood or discussed in many parts of society, worldwide. The same holds true in the Anglophone Caribbean. Most Caribbean societies are patriarchal in nature, as most men govern and create the political and economic landscape where citizens live. This edited volume brings together reputable scholars of rigorous academic research from various disciplines (e.g., political science, law, linguistics, criminology, nursing, social work and psychology) to clearly explain the conceptual definition of domestic violence within the Latin American and Caribbean region's socio-political context. It will highlight who are the perpetrators as well as the victims of domestic violence and the consequences of allowing domestic violence to perpetuate in the region. This book is unique in the market today, as it is the only book grounded in the Caribbeanproviding a comprehensive overview of domestic violence with regards to the significance, victims, perpetrators, and the consequences. Ann Marie Bissessar is Professor of Political Science at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago. Camille Huggins is Lecturer at the Social Work Department at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago.
