Abstract	:	This important book sheds light on the interplay of hierarchy and equality,the local and the global, and the Caribbean and the European in thecultural history of Nevis. In addition to bringing recent theoreticalconcerns with transnationalism and identity to Caribbean studies, KarenOlwig directs Caribbean ethnology away from static conceptions ofkinship and household, religion and social life, and African culturalretentions, and toward an integration of kinship, gender, religion, and culture in terms of shifting notions of inequality in colonial and postcolonial societies. The result is a very significant argument about theembeddedness of European cultural forms in the Caribbean and theirtransformation by Caribbean peoples over four centuries.
