This book by Rachel L. Mordecai explores the complex socio-political landscape of Jamaica during the 1970s, a transformative period marked by political upheaval and social change. Following the electoral victory of the People's National Party (PNP) under Michael Manley, Jamaica embarked on a path towards democratic socialism, aiming to address racial and class disparities. The narrative delves into the optimism, challenges, and eventual crises faced by the country, including economic decline, increased violence, and ideological conflicts. The text captures the era's impact on Jamaican identity and diaspora, highlighting the contested narratives that define this historical period. The work is intended for readers interested in Caribbean studies, postcolonial history, and political science.
