Afro-Caribbean Dynamics of Sexuality and Relationships

Afro-Caribbean Dynamics of Sexuality and Relationships: Reclaiming the Caribbean Sexual Narrative examines the complexities of sexuality and relationships in the Caribbean, shaped by colonial legacies, cultural norms, and evolving gender roles.

Through seven original research studies, it explores a wide range of topics related to sexuality and intimate relationships, including: body image and sexual satisfaction, sexual socialization and communication, perceptions of unconventional relationships, the psychological impact of adverse childhood experiences on intimate relationships, family structure's influence on sexual identity, sexual decision-making among Caribbean youth, and the intersections of mental health, trauma, and intimacy. This book challenges Eurocentric narratives, offering a culturally grounded framework for understanding Afro-Caribbean sexuality.

Bridging psychology, sociology, and history, it is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and academics in gender, sexuality, Caribbean studies, and postcolonial mental health.
