Article Title：A fish story: rethinking globalization on Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

Abstract：
Recent discussions of globalization leave the nature of movement and of the moving objects in transnational flows relatively unexamined. Incorporating historical and ethnographic material from the British Virgin Islands, I use the analogy of the critique of the study of kinship, which highlights the assumptions of person and relation built into kinship theory, to shed light on the assumptions of property and the metaphysics of movement built into globalization research.

Keywords: globalization; property; kinship theory; capitalism; Caribbean
