Law is often perceived as an instrument that can effect social
change. While this might be so, it must be complemented by the
necessary financial and human resources to make the law effective.
Natalie Persadie explains that, among developing countries, such as
Trinidad and Tobago, the achievement of legal advances for women-at
either the international or national levels-is particularly
difficult where practical measures are not subsequently
implemented. This is, perhaps, attributable to a lack of political
will. Important issues such as gender equality and domestic
violence are not given priority and laws aimed at protecting women
and promoting women's rights are ineffective, scant, or unenforced.
Gender justice can only be realized through a multilevel approach
from above and, more importantly, from below, as women have the
potential to effect real national and international legal and
institutional change to ensure gender equality at both levels.
Now in its third edition, Commonwealth Caribbean Business Law
continues to break away from the traditional English approach of
treating business law primarily as the law of contract and agency.
Taking a panoramic view, it explores the foundation of various
legal systems before examining areas of legal liability that affect
business activities. These include areas such as contract law, tort
law, criminal law, agency and internet law which present
significant challenges confronting the business sector. The book
primarily targets the development of business law principles in
several Caribbean Commonwealth jurisdictions but, where
appropriate, also embraces the jurisprudence of other Commonwealth
nations, such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. It also
explores the United States as a non-Commonwealth jurisdiction,
given the increasing importance in the Caribbean of judicial
pronouncements relating to internet law from this territory. Using
excerpts from key judgments, the book allows students, particularly
those with a non-legal background, to understand key legal
principles for business as presented by the judiciary and draws
parallels between legal theory and business practice.

This work critically examines diversity, discrimination, and
inclusion in the English-speaking Caribbean nations, with a
specific emphasis on persons with disabilities. The chapters
include an evaluative analysis on the extant theoretical and
empirical literature on persons with disabilities in employment,
exploring the nature of their disability, the role of information
technology in gaining and retaining employment, and an analysis of
the laws and relevant policies which prohibit the discrimination
against persons with disabilities in the Caribbean region. Though
the enactment of legislation outlawing the discrimination of
persons with disabilities is not widespread in the Caribbean, a few
select territories have taken positive steps towards recognition of
the need to achieve inclusion of persons with disabilities and
accept the diversity of the Caribbean populace. After exploring the
general state of disability and discrimination in the Caribbean
region, the authors analyze workplace accommodations provided to
persons with disability, particularly as relations to IT and
assistive devices, before focusing on workplace stigmas related to
mental health disability and employment law. In addition to
literature-based analyses, the book includes qualitative case
studies, with the goal of providing benchmarks in organizational
responses to employees with disabilities. Further, the authors
highlight lessons to be learned from other countries in addressing
inequality in the workplace for disabled persons. With its analysis
of employment as well as socio-economic and legal issues, this
interdisciplinary text will serve as a useful resource in not only
understanding the organizational challenges faced by persons with
disabilities in the region but also the necessary legislation
needed to address discriminatory practices on a wider scale.

This book focuses on equality, inclusion, and discrimination within
the English-speaking Caribbean region, specifically as it relates
to employment, education, society, and the law. Though
anti-discrimination laws have recently been enacted in the
Caribbean, this, in and of itself, neither translates to societal
changes nor changes within the organisational context. The authors
examine racial diversity in public sector organisations in Trinidad
and Tobago and Guyana, gender diversity in organisations across the
Caribbean region, sexual orientation and its impact on employment,
disability and access within organisations, and equality and
inclusion within Caribbean institutions of higher education.
Further, the book explores the region's equality laws and compares
them with legislation from selected developed countries. This
interdisciplinary text provides researchers in HRM, organisational
behavior, sociology, and public policy with an overview of the
types of discrimination prevalent within the Caribbean as well as
the varied institutional frameworks in place that encourage
equality.
