West Indian Migration to the United States Virgin Islands: Demographic Impacts and Socioeconomic Consequences.

de Albuquerque, Klaus; McElroy, Jerome L.

International Migration Review, v16 n1 p61-101 Spr 1982

Examines the demographic impact, underlying socioeconomic forces, and the legal framework of British West Indian migration to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Observes that West Indian assimilation has only been partial, as evidenced by West Indians' insecure legal status, persistent wage and job discrimination, limited social acceptance, and political disenfranchisement.
