51 p, Race, Ethnicity, and Class: Forging the Plural Society in Latin America and the Caribbean addresses race, ethnicity, and class in Latin America and the Caribbean, and argues that the Caribbean can be distinguished from the Latin American mainland in that race, class, and ethnicity do not form the basis for "mutually reinforcing social cleavages."

Major previous works include The Caribbean: The Genesis of Fragmented Nationalism. (Baylor University Press website);
