Book Description
The explosive tourism-led growth experienced by he U.S. Virgin Islands during the 1960s and the early 1970s reflected the duality of the Virgi Islands' socioeconomic identity. Although growth was dependent on the U.S. economy and U.S. policies, it also reaffirmed the links the Virgin Islands had developed in the Eastern Caribbean labor market in spite of their unique history as a Danish and then an American colony. Relatively large scale inflows of Eastern Caribbean labor caused both general and relative wage effects, compression of the wage and income structures, and redistribution of income away fro labor. Increased labor market segmentation exacerbrated the inherent ambivalence of the Virgin Island' Eastern Caribbean identity. The nature of hte transformation of employment and income in the Virgin Islands undermined the benefits derived by the indigenous labor force and established the bases of subsequent socioeconomic conflict.
