Caliban, the colonized islander of The Tempest, became the governing figure of Caribbean anticolonial thought through Retamar, Cesaire and Lamming; the daughters of the title are the women that tradition left out. Thirteen essays by anthropologists, sociologists, legal scholars and literary critics take up Caribbean women's movements, informal-sector labor, Haitian vodou, Jamaican beauty pageants, salsa, and gendered colonial law across the Anglophone, Hispanic and Francophone islands. Contributors include Karen McCarthy Brown, Ruth Behar and Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert; the editor taught women's studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cover photographs by Jack Delano, the Farm Security Administration photographer who came to Puerto Rico on assignment in 1941, settled there in 1946, and served as the island government's official photographer.
