“…As a result, the Caribbean kinship is "fluid and flexible with no clear-cut boundary between kin and nonkin relationship" (p. 36). Citing Sutton (1987), Ho suggested that the destiny of Caribbean migrants is not toward "Americanization," which characterizes many European immigrants, who have been proven to be more "meltable." Ho further contended that Caribbeans' systematic rejection of acculturation and their "internationalization of kinship" might even lead to some "Caribbeanization" of the United States (p. 39).…”

Collaboration across national boundaries has become increasingly prevalent over the last decade, yet the management literature remains remarkably unhelpful in answering questions about what happens when people across nations and cultures work closely together. We review the management literature that reports empirical studies of global work and conclude that few of these studies, despite their explicit focus on globally distributed work, meaningfully examine the intercultural aspects of these collaborations. We assume an intercultural lens to understand what gets lost by not examining the global in global work and conclude that the very process by which workers who reside in different countries confront, explore, and resolve cultural differences begs for more clarity. Further, we conclude that a more contextual and dynamic view of culture is necessary to shed light on these processes. We use two examples-social networks and technology use-to illustrate how cultural differences might generate different patterns of behavior, and consider the effect of these potential incompatibilities on global work and workers as they collaborate across national boundaries.

“…Other analysts (e.g. 106,252,253) showed how ethnicity and race can be interrelated but distinct dimensions in the formation of individual and group identity, and how, depending on the context, one dimension may modify or take precedence over the other (31,39,89,147,254). Anthropologists' revived interest in race and racism brings to the wider discourse their concern with a number of issues, including (a) the increasing volatility of current racial dyamics, (b) the rehisto ricization of race and its relationship to anthropological knowledges, and (c) the variation in racial constructions, including the conventionally neglected configurations of whiteness.…”

“…identities have often been shaped by nationalist and transna tional ideologies based in part on positive evaluations of blackness (23,89,103,145,[252][253][254]284). Identities are always enacted situationally, and in some aspects of new immigrants' everyday lives, race and ethnicity may be less influential than the organization of workplaces, residential areas, and schools (150:2-3).…”

KEY WORDS: social construction of race, neo-racism without races, scientific antiracisms, subjugated know ledges in anthropology, racialized ethnicity ABSTRACT Historically, anthropology has occupied a central place in the construction and reconstruction of race as both an intellectual device and a social reality. Cri tiques of the biological concept of race have led many anthropologists to adopt a "no-race" posture and an approach to intergroup difference highlighting ethnicity-based principles of classification and organization. Often, however, the singular focus on ethnicity has left unaddressed the persistence of racism and its invidious impact on local communities, nation-states, and the global system. Within the past decade, anthropologists have revitalized their interest in the complex and often covert structures and dynamics of racial inequality. Recent studies shed light on race's heightened volatility on contemporary sociocultural landscapes, the racialization of ethno-nationalist conflicts, an thropology's multiple traditions of antiracism, and intranational as well as international variations in racial constructions, including the conventionally neglected configurations of whiteness. OVERCOMING DENIALUntil recently, anthropology has not been as visible as some other fields in the new critical discourse on race Ccf 51, 126,142,192). Historically, anthro pology has occupied a central place in the construction and deconstruction 0084-6570/95/1015-0047$05.00 47 Annu. Rev. Anthropol. 1995.24:47-74.

“…This has been observed by Lowenthal (1972), who noted that immigrants from different islands tend to develop a certain West Indian nationalism. It also has been observed in New York City by Sutton (1987) and Basch (1987), who report that island identities become fused into such broad ethnic identities as "West Indian" and "pan-Caribbean." And the contrast between the development of this sense of community among Caribbean people in Britain and its relative underdevelopment among people in separate islands in the Caribbean has been stressed by Hinds (1966), who noted that migration was making breaches in the walls of insularity erected by each island and territory in the Caribbean.…”
