Focusing on the socialization processes of male children, this study addresses the increasing marginalization of Caribbean males. Through qualitative research in urban and rural areas of Dominica, Guyana, and Jamaica, the voices of community members are highlighted, revealing their insights on gender identity, male socialization, and parenting skills. The work also explores the distinctions between Afro-Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean perspectives on these issues, providing a nuanced look at male-female relations and societal expectations.
