The book explores colonial social policy in the British West Indies from the nineteenth century, critically examining the assumption that black families were morally deficient and lacked structure, particularly male figures. It argues that these stereotypes contributed to perceptions of poverty and the denial of citizenship, highlighting the impact of colonial attitudes on societal dynamics and family structures within the black community. The analysis delves into the historical context and implications of these policies on the lives of individuals and families.
