1969 (Jerome S. Handler) “Book Review of English Rustics in Black Skin: A Study of Modern Family Forms in a Pre-lndustrialized Society.” Sidney M. Greenfield. New Haven: College and University Press, American Anthropologist 71: 335-337.
This review argues against the basic cultural historical premises developed by Greenfield, particularly his view of the influence of English culture on Afro-Barbadian society, and his naive perspective on Barbadian history and the life of the enslaved.
