The Handbook of Gender Studies in the Dutch Caribbean, edited by Rose Mary Allen and Sruti Bala (Brill, 2024) is the first comprehensive anthology of gender studies scholarship on the Dutch Caribbean islands, thematically covering the history of movements for gender equality, the relation of gender to race, colonialism, sexuality and the arts and popular culture. The volume offers unparalleled insights into a century of debates around gender from the six islands of the Dutch Caribbean (Curaçao, Bonaire, Aruba, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba).
