Summary

Caribbean children grow up playing games that shape the attitudes and expectations of their roles in later life. This video explores these games and looks at the adult games to which they lead, focusing on draughts in Barbados, dominoes in Dominica, all fours in Trinidad, warri in Antigua, and cricket on all the islands. It also questions the reasons for Caribbean women’ s historically low level of participation in these games
