The book details the history, construction, and cultural relevance of ti kais, highlighting their resilience and adaptability, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017. It emphasizes the connection between these structures and their inhabitants, framing ti kais as dynamic social artefacts that reflect the community's history and identity. The work also suggests a conservation management framework for these buildings, advocating for the documentation and preservation of vernacular architecture across the Greater Caribbean. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
