N2  - In this article, I demonstrate some of the complexities of the "pragmatics of inclusion" that ensue when subordinated people first struggle to gain access to hegemonic institutions and then challenge those institutions to maintain their inclusion. In presenting these findings, I reconsider the meaning of agency for persons seeking legal redress from domestic abuse in Trinidad and reassess the power and limitations of domestic violence law as a symbol and instrument for social change, [domestic violence law, agency, legal processes, kinship and gender ideologies, Caribbean]<p />
