 Foreword

This book will focus on equality, inclusion and discrimination within the
English-speaking Caribbean region, specifically as it relates to employ-
ment, education, society and the law. Within extant literature, discrimi-
nation has been examined primarily from the perspective of industrialised
nations. This book is the first of its kind to comprehensively assess equal-
ity and inclusion within the Caribbean region.
One of the primary reasons for a lack of diversity and inclusion within
contemporary organisations is the perpetuation of discrimination within
society. This can be explained (in part) through the framework of the
theory of social categorisation, where individuals categorise others into
groups with the objective of identifying those who are similar to and/
or different from themselves (Wenzel 2004) and hence those with whom
they anticipate successful work and other relationships (Kurzban, Tooby
and Cosmides 2001).
Discrimination (which is the treatment of one person less favoura-
bly than another) has been referred to as the behavioural manifestation
of stigma (Thornicroft, Rose, Kassam and Sartorius 2007; Thornicroft,
Brohan, Kassam and Lewis-Holmes 2008). The application of disparate
treatment to organisational members as a consequence of fear, igno-
rance or acceptance of prejudicial stereotypes, could lead to the exclu-
sion of suitable candidates for employment, promotion, training or
retention within workplaces (Kirton and Greene 2000). This approach
to the supervision or management of human resources invariably leads
to workers of similar backgrounds being considered homogenous rather

v
vi FOREWORD

than as individuals with varying levels of skills and competence (Duncan

2003; Taylor and Walker 1998). It has been suggested (Woodhams,
Lupton and Cowling 2015), that continuous use of discriminatory prac-
tices could have a multiplier effect in many areas of the economy and by
extension the wider society. This in turn could be manifested through
lack of economic growth, reduced tax revenues and increases in pub-
lic expenditure—for example in relation to increased income support
required (McGuire and Roberson 2007; Neumark 2009).
Across the Commonwealth Caribbean, the Constitution provides
for an entitlement to equal treatment for all citizens. More specifically,
within the region, there are three island states which have enacted leg-
islation with the explicit purpose of prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of specified grounds and promoting equality. These islands are
Guyana (Prevention of Discrimination Act 1999), St. Lucia (Equality of
Opportunity and Treatment in Employment and Occupation Act 2000)
and Trinidad and Tobago (Equal Opportunity Act 2000). While the spe-
cific grounds of discrimination prohibited by these Acts vary, the com-
monly covered areas are: sex, race, religion, ethnic origin, marital status
and disability. Notably, within the Caribbean region, sexual orientation
has been excluded from the enacted equality legislation.
The current iteration of the equality discourse, is focused on the
concept of managing diversity, where organisations are encouraged to
strengthen their workforce and competitive advantage by employing
people who are different from the status quo. Further, it advocates inclu-
sivity and embracing the skills and talents of different types of employ-
ees (Thomas 1990), which may involve changing workplace policies and
practices such that there are no exclusions (intentional or unintentional),
by reason of an employee’s immutable characteristics (for example, age,
sex, race). It has been argued that even though the language used in
relation to equality is continuously updated, the changes are variations in
emphasis, rather than paradigm shifts (Oswick et al. 2010). This is to say
that the underlying premise remains unchanged, i.e. the achievement of
equity and fairness in employment (Liff 1999).
Though anti-discrimination law has been enacted in the Caribbean,
this, in and of itself, neither translates to societal changes nor changes
within the organisational context. Within the context of society and
related organisations and institutions, the directive of the law is only one
factor which contributes to the facilitation of change. Some of the lead-
ing drivers for organisational diversity and inclusion have been identified
as legal pressures, the need to recruit and retain the best talent, social
 FOREWORD vii

responsibility, potential business benefits, moral arguments and the pur-

suit of social justice (CIPD 2007). Moreover, the realisation of desired
changes may necessitate challenging the veracity of accepted stereotypes by
showing that they are flawed, and as such people should be treated fairly,
irrespective of their membership in a minority group. In addition, it has
been suggested (Hornstein 2001) that the efficacy of ­anti-discrimination
legislation, in other jurisdictions, has been assisted by simultaneously pro-
moting equal rights and enhancing the education of both employers and
employees in relation to their rights and obligations as well as rigorous
enforcement of the law. It may be argued that within society, change will
only occur where there is a clear and obvious reason; where political and
societal leaders embrace the proposed changes and norms are updated
which are congruent with the changing dynamics of the society.
Where discrimination has been institutionalised in a society or an
organisation, prejudicial patterns of employment practice may be fol-
lowed without question, as a result of expectations within the work-
place (Renskin 2000). Indeed the existence of widespread discrimination
within society (Banaji 1999) may make it more challenging for changes
to be made to attitudes and practices within the organisational context or
other social institutions.

 CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The Anglophone Caribbean is an archipelago of former colonies of the

United Kingdom (UK), which gained independence during the 1960s
and 1970s. These islands include Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas,
Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St.
Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. These
populations vary in size from 52,441 (St. Kitts and Nevis) to 2,890,299
(Jamaica), according to the most recent census data (i.e. 2000–2001).
The economies in the Caribbean region rely largely on tourism, oil and
gas, manufacturing, agriculture, financial services and, in the main, are
stable. These island states are considered variously as the third world or
developing countries but are generally economies managed by qualified
individuals with stable political governance and limited political unrest.
Despite being a collection of individual islands, governed by sepa-
rate independent governments, the Caribbean region is often regarded
as homogeneous, however, although the English-speaking islands are
collectively referred to as the Commonwealth Caribbean, there is a
widespread diversity across the island chain. Diversity may be broadly
categorised as either surface- or deep-level diversity. Surface-level diversity
refers to observable personal attributes such as sex, age, race inter alia,
while deep-level diversity refers to less observable c­haracteristics includ-
ing one’s beliefs, values, attitudes and culture inter alia (Barak 2016;
Phillips and Loyd 2006; Roberson 2019). Within these groups there
are several points of departure particularly with respect to differences

in age, sex, race, culture, socialisation and education, which are evident
globally and by extension in the Caribbean region. Currently, there is a
paucity of literature in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion with a
focus on the English-speaking Caribbean (see Stephenson and Persadie
2019), hence the objective of this book is to critically assess whether,
and the extent to which, these issues are practically and theoretically rele-
vant, in respect of work, education, employment and society. To wit, this
text examines diversity, discrimination, inclusion and exclusion, on the
basis of sex, race, sexual orientation and disability, in relation to employ-
ment, education, politics and applicable legal and societal systems, in the
Caribbean.
The debate concerning equal opportunities and non-discrimination is
said to have evolved over time, from simply considering equality from
a radical or liberal perspective (Jewson and Mason 1986), to envelop-
ing new concepts, namely managing diversity accepting differences and
inclusion (Kirton and Greene 2006). The three primary categories of
equality are: equality of results, treatment/opportunity and consistency
(Jewson and Mason 1986). It has been suggested that pursuing equality,
with a view of treating everyone the same could be an “oversimplification
of the problem”. This is because treating everyone the same could result
in disadvantage, where for example within the organisational context,
all employees are given access to the same printed employee manual.
Although this may appear, prima facie, as an attempt to treat every-
one the same, employees who are visually impaired would be unable to
access the information in the manual, unless it is converted into braille
or they are permitted to use specially designed software in order to access
it. Such occurrences are observed in the workplace daily and this con-
tributes to the failure of some equal opportunity initiatives (Liff and
Wajcman 1996). Moreover, there is an absence of irrefutable evidence
to support any assertion that equal treatment approaches have resulted
only in benefits in relation to equality; in part, this is because accept-
ance of stereotypes appear to create some difficulty for organisational
managers to conceptualise job requirements in neutral terms (Collinson
et al. 1990; Curran 1988). An alternative approach to equality of treat-
ment is to find a way to value and utilise employee differences. This is
the managing diversity approach where organisations are encouraged
to strengthen their workforce and competitive advantage by employ-
ing different people from those already in the workforce. This approach
challenges the equal treatment model suggesting that people do not
 1 INTRODUCTION 3

necessarily wish to be treated the same in every aspect of their working

life but, by offering different working arrangements or benefits, employ-
ers facilitating the diversity approach may realise greater benefits within
their workplaces, relative to those pursuing equality (Liff and Wajcman
1996). Managing diversity encourages a focus on inclusivity and embrac-
ing the skills and talents of different types of employees (Thomas 1990),
which may involve changing workplace policies and practices such
that there are no exclusions (intentional or unintentional) based on an
employee’s immutable characteristics (i.e. age, sex, race, etc.). It has been
argued that even though the language being used in relation to equality
is continuously being updated, the changes are variations in emphasis,
rather than paradigm shifts (Oswick et al. 2010). Otherwise stated, the
underlying premise remains unchanged, i.e. the achievement of equity
and fairness (Liff 1999).
One of the prevailing objectives in this ongoing discourse is the
reduction and/or elimination of discrimination. Discrimination is said
to occur when one person is treated less favorably than another, typ-
ically on the basis of immutable characteristics (Dipboye and Colella
2013). Discrimination in the Caribbean is prevalent primarily on the
grounds of race, sexual orientation, sex and disability. As it relates to
race, given the history of enslavement and indentured servitude within
the region, there remains some latent hostilities among racial groups
which comprise the populace (Bissessar 2002; Chadee 2003), which in
turn gives rise on occasion, to discrimination on the basis of race, par-
ticularly between racial groups (primarily persons of African and Indian
descent). Moreover, with buggery laws still in place in many Caribbean
islands, a remnant of colonial rule, discrimination is rife against ­persons
with an other than heterosexual orientation, i.e. members of the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community. This is
further reinforced by the extent to which deterrent punitive measures
are embedded in relevant legislation, prevailing cultural norms, and reli-
gious beliefs, which dictate expected and accepted sexual behavior, such
that any deviation is opposed and rejected without due consideration
(CADRES 2013a, b, c). Further, discrimination on the grounds of sex is
manifested within society with men and women expected to perform cer-
tain roles in the home, workplace and society more broadly. For women,
disparate treatment can have an adverse effect on their ability to obtain
and retain desirable full employment, their remuneration, development
and career progression (Bissessar 2014; Esnard et al. 2015; Mahabir
4 J. H. STEPHENSON ET AL.

and Ramrattan 2015). Within the Caribbean region, for persons of

working age, having a disability may prove challenging when trying to
secure employment; this is in part due to the acceptance of stereotypes
by employers as it relates to persons with disabilities (PWD) and their
capabilities. Such disparate treatment is also evident within wider soci-
ety as persons with disabilities experience less inclusion, and social satis-
faction as a result of their treatment and perception by the populace, as
a homogeneous group with significant limitations which prohibit their
involvement and potential contribution. Moreover, when compared with
other grounds of discrimination such as age, race, sex, members of these
marginalised groups have been associated with advantages to society and
employment unlike persons with disabilities (Woodhams and Danieli
2000).
One of the primary reasons for discrimination, a lack of diversity and
inclusion within contemporary societies is the acceptance of stereotypes,
particularly as it relates to groups of persons with whom individuals are
not familiar. Further, it has been argued that stereotypes are used as heu-
ristics, when individuals are unable (and/or unwilling) to apply more
comprehensive and analytical methods (Chiu et al. 2001; McGregor
and Gray 2002). In the workplace context, willingness by employers
to accept negative stereotypes can affect the ability of a worker to find
and retain gainful employment (Renskin 2000), which may impact the
extent to which they are able to be actively engaged in the labor force.
Nonetheless, the discussion above should not be taken to mean that
stereotypes are the only reason for the perpetuation of discrimination;
indeed, discrimination may also be based on animus, lack of knowledge
about the target group; divergent perceptions, the adoption of a prej-
udicial pattern of practice which is followed without question; and as a
result of cultural expectations (Kirton and Greene 2006; Renskin 2000).
Discrimination can also occur as a rational outcome of economic analyses
made about the potential contribution and productivity of workers based
on their characteristics (Gandy 2010; Harcourt et al. 2005; Smith and
Moore 2010).
Traditionally, jurisdictions may take action to address inequality and
discrimination by enacting equality legislation, establishing diversity pol-
icies, promoting diversity initiatives, facilitating cultural change, pursu-
ing moral suasion or pursuing a combination of these measures. Globally,
these approaches have had varying degrees of success, as it relates to
eliminating or reducing existing exclusionary and/or discriminatory
