Caribbean
In the Caribbean archipelago, the family is a shifting construct, shaped by the history of migration, slavery, and creolization. Here, plurality is not hidden: it is a historical norm. Between the prevalence of matrifocal lineages—where women serve as the anchor of the household—and the successive or simultaneous unions inherited from colonial societies, the “nuclear” model struggles to take hold. It is a space where the home is porous, open to both the community and the sea, far from rigid constraints. A geography of adaptability, blending, and resilience, where intimacy is experienced as much on the porch as inside the pastel-colored houses.
