White minorities in the Caribbean continue to exercise a political and economic influence disproportionate to their numbers. This text is a discussion of the political divisions and inter-ethnic relations within the white and non-white communities, the involvement of white women in entrepreneurial activities, and the rise and fall of the white elite. The territories surveyed include mainland Belize and Guyana as well as the island countries, and the discussions include a consideration of the other social groups with which this political, social and economic elite interacted.
