Bibliography, National – Jamaica ISBN 978-976-8020-08-6 015.7292 – dc22 Copyright 2013by National Library of Jamaica ii T A B L E OF C O N T E N T S Preface………………………………………………………………………… iv Abbreviations and Terms……………………………………………………… v Sample Entries…………………………………………………………………. vi Outline of Dewey decimal classification……………………………….............. vii Classified Subject Listing………………………………………………………. 1 - 1014 iii PREFACE The mandate of the National Library of Jamaica is to collect, catalogue and preserve the nation’s publications and to make these items available for study and research. A related mandate is to compile and publish the national bibliography which is the list of material published in the country, authored by its citizens and about the country, regardless of place of publication. The occasion of Jamaica’s 50th anniversary was seen as an opportunity to fill in the gaps in the national bibliography which had been prepared sporadically: 1964 – 1969; 1975 – 1986; 1998- 2003; and so the Jamaican National Bibliography 1962-2012 (JNB 50) Volume 1 was created. Arrangement This volume of the bibliography is arranged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and catalogued using the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules. The information about an item includes the name the author uses in his/her works, the full title, edition, publisher, date of publication, number of pages, types of illustrations, series, size, notes, ISBN, price and binding. Exclusions The following types of publications have not been included: a) Journals b) Films and sounding recordings c) Maps d) Certain government publications such as Acts, Bills, Subsidiary legislation, gazettes, etc, The task of compiling JNB50 Volume 1 was led by Mrs. Maxine Jones and supported by Mrs Enett Noble and Miss Sheena-Gay Senior. It was a mammoth task but the team pressed on knowing that other than honouring the part of the NLJ’s Vision Statement which speaks to “fostering and promoting a nation knowledgeable about its history, heritage and information resources, they were creating a critical record of the intellectual thought of the nation in its first fifty years of independence. We hope researchers locally and internationally will mine it for its riches.

  • Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
    Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code.

  • Becoming Creole: Material Life and Society in Eighteenth-Century
    BECOMING CREOLE: MATERIAL LIFE AND SOCIETY IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY KINGSTON, JAMAICA by DOUGLAS F. MANN (Under the Direction of Michael Kwass) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between material culture and the development of Creole identity in the eighteenth-century urban slave society of Kingston, Jamaica. Although economic and social historians of the British West Indies in this period have focused on the export of major crops such as sugar, they have devoted little attention to the construction of social and cultural identity. From Kingston’s colonial architecture and urban design, to the interior of homes, white residents displayed their cultural attachments, social prominence, and racial superiority. But slaves also engaged in material acquisition. Through the clothing many domestic slaves were able to obtain from their masters, through purchase, or through other means, slaves blurred the racial lines that divided Kingston society. This study also examines Kingston’s white women who were often caricatured as indolent and attached to excessive material consumption in contemporary sources. However, this portrayal is not accurate. Kingston’s white women, by virtue of their prudent and economical management of domestic consumption and effective oversight of their domestic staff of slaves, carved out for themselves an arena of agency that historians have overlooked. By considering the material culture of Kingston and the circulation of goods within the complex social, racial, and cultural matrix that made up its urban landscape, this project illuminates how material objects acquired social meaning and helped fashion a Creole identity. INDEX WORDS: Kingston, Jamaica; Material Culture; Creole Society; Urban Slavery; Women in Urban Caribbean; Slave Clothing; Gentility; Refinement BECOMING CREOLE: MATERIAL LIFE AND SOCIETY IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY KINGSTON, JAMAICA by DOUGLAS F.
