First published in 1986. In the last decade, the island of Caye
Caulker was transformed from a subsistence fishing village into an
affluent enclave within a poor Caribbean country. This ethnographic
study of the island recounts the economic success story of Caye
Caulker, attributing the island's relative prosperity to several
key features: the reorganization of the lobster fishing industry
into producer cooperatives, the limiting and controlling of
tourism, and the maintenance of sociocultural institutions that
historically have created strong family networks and encouraged
autonomy and self-sufficiency. Dr. Sutherland's unusual case study
of positive development without external assistance makes a
valuable contribution to our understanding of Third World
development in general and local development in particular.
