Chapter 8 in Urban Poverty in the Caribbean, 1990, pp 158-168 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The city of Fort-de-France, Martinique, is used throughout this study as a social laboratory in which to test the hypothesis that urban poverty is reproduced over time. Each chapter examines a substantive element of the general mechanism of social reproduction — for example, the household, the shop, strategy of immigration. When broken down into its components, each element is seen as a pivotal point at which asymmetric relations affect the reproduction of the unit, that is, the family, individual, or enterprise. We come to understand that ‘social reproduction’ refers, not necessarily to the reproduction of each element, but rather to the reproduction of the identity of the unit.
