The edited collection addresses the complexities, challenges—including antipathies—that continue to harm but also facilitate the progress of sexual and gender minority groups in education systems in the Caribbean.Possibility and Progress: Navigating 21st Century Education Realities for Sexual and Gender Minorities in the Caribbean is a collection of perspectives that challenge the commonly held view in academic and activist circles in the Global North that the Caribbean are dangerous and “unsafe” regions for sexual and gender minorities. Compounding this narrative is the underrepresentation of Caribbean people who do not conform to normative heterosexual patterns of behaviour or gender expression in various social domains and the reinforcement of negative stereotypes about their experiences by the media and education systems. Despites the persistence of negative stereotypes and stigma levelled against sexual and gender minorities, there are noteworthy possibilities and progress to be highlighted. The collection will cover these through the lenses of a variety of scholarly perspectives.

Gender Variances and Sexual Diversity in the Caribbean: Perspectives, Histories, Experiences is a collection of critical perspectives on fundamental questions of how sexual orientation and gender in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean are conceived, studied, discoursed and experienced. Bringing together and updating existing and in-progress scholarly work on minority genders and sexualities in the region, this collection seeks to provide a fresh set of lenses through which to examine the issues affecting people in the Caribbean who fall outside the traditional binary categories of heterosexual males or heterosexual females.Opening with a variety of perspectives – from the biological to the religious and historiographical – the volume explores definitions of sex and gender as well as constructions of sexuality among Commonwealth Caribbean scholars, and the ways in which the Judaeo-Christian tradition popular in the region has responded to these. Other chapters examine the socializing forces that reinforce or challenge conventional conceptions of gender and sexuality, and how these result in the constraining forces of social exclusion and discrimination that many members of the LGBTQ community in the region experience. The book ends with chapters that interrogate the normative standards of gender and sexuality that have traditionally underlain Caribbean popular culture. Additionally, there is an exploration of how anti-gay discourse in Jamaican dancehall, embedded in a language linked to the country's vernacular nationalism, has been neutralized by a coalition of local and international LGBTQ activists.
