| Title |
Leadership, Solidarity and Conflict in West Indian Immigrant Associations
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the relationship between the style in which leadership roles are played and the development of factionalism and conflict in two West Indian immigrant associations in Montreal, the Civil Rights Association and the Ethnic Association. After considering several variables related to the occurrence of conflict and ineffectiveness in West Indian associations generally, he tries to isolate through a "deviant case" analysis, why, in two generally similar associations, one should have developed conflict and the other not. The author suggests that leadership roles played according to values of particularism, affectivity, and diffuseness tend to minimize potential areas of incipient strain, while leadership roles played according to values of universalism, neutrality, and specificity tend to maximize these areas of potential strain, resulting in the development of factionalism and conflict which threaten the viability of the association.
