Abstract
East Indian family life in rural Trinidad is usually analyzed within the framework of the retentionist model, which holds that the East Indians have successfully retained the basic institutions of their home culture. A restudy of Felicity village demonstrates that the model underestimates the impact of social and economic developments on family and marriage life in this community because it focuses mainly on ideal patterns of culture.
