and Society, a collection of his articles, transcends regional emphases and deals directly with theoretical and methodological issues. The Study of Social Structure is one of two studies that he virtually had completed at the time of his death in 1993. It unfolds elements of Smith's epistemology while reopening the subject of social structure to systematic inquiry. Throughout his career, he was steadfast in the belief that the study of social structure, despite a period of scholarly disinterest, was central to the anthropological enterprise, and he was even more resolute that the subject itself be critically reexamined. In both regards, he called for the development of new conceptual frameworks "free of unverifiable postulates" to facilitate the study of social structural phenomena. He wrote that traditional Western ideas of societies as normatively and functionally integrated systems of action had to be supplemented, "perhaps" even replaced, by concepts that suspend such assumptions so as to permit the investigation of social units and relations "directly as concrete empirical structures." His plural society and corporation work provide examples of viable alternatives to what he called "the familiar system model." The Study of Social Structure deals with those perspectives and approaches that objectify and thereby unravel social structures and their component parts. The second work, Education and Society in the Creole Caribbean (with Lambros Comitas and sections by Philip Burnham, Jack Harewood, and Josep Llobera) was designed by Smith as a multi-year project on the post-independence effects of education on three Anglophone Caribbean societies, Grenada, Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago to contribute to a fuller understanding of education through the use of anthropological methods and techniques; to determine whether or not, as well as how the educational systems of the three island nations acted to maintain or to change structural and cultural frameworks derived from a colonial past; and, to determine whether or not and how, if at all, the educational systems of these three small countries served to promote development or to increase the potential for development. Poetry Smith's poetry was published in regional journals and literary magazines in the 1950s and 1960s and has been widely anthologized. It has been noted: "He often decorates his work with classical references and titles, although his subjects are usually West Indian." His patriotic poem "I Saw My Land in the Morning" has also been set to music. Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott once ranked Smith as "one
