Abstract

This chapter examines the historical and contemporary social cultural context of intimate partner relationships in the Caribbean among three predominant ethnic groups: Africans, Latinos, and Indians. Structural functionalism was used to examine the social cultural functions of male and female roles separately, as well as acting together in intimate relationships from a historical and contemporary perspective. It reviews contemporary perspectives on the idealism of marriage, matrifocality, and male hegemony. Roles and functions in intimate relationships persist from its historical underpinnings.
