Anthropologist, Prof. Sidney Greenfield, recently travelled to Barbados to launch the reprint of his 1966 book English Rustics in Black Skin: A Study of Modern Family Forms in a Pre-Industrialized Society at the Barbados Museum and Historical Society on Thursday, March 3, 2011. Re-published by the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, the book provides insight into family formation in a rural Barbadian community based on his PhD research conducted in the 1960s.
Prof. Greenfield has since gone on to conduct anthropological research in Brazil. His early research concentrated on Barbadians in Brazil.
