All are English- speaking parliamentary democracies with stable political systems. All of the countries are also Small Island Developing States. The U.S. has close ties with these governments. They presently suffer from inherently weak economies, dependent on tourism, serious challenges from transnational crime, and a constant threat from natural disasters.

  • From Freedom to Bondage: the Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770
    From Freedom to Bondage: The Jamaican Maroons, 1655-1770 Jonathan Brooks, University of North Carolina Wilmington Andrew Clark, Faculty Mentor, UNCW Abstract: The Jamaican Maroons were not a small rebel community, instead they were a complex polity that operated as such from 1655-1770. They created a favorable trade balance with Jamaica and the British. They created a network of villages that supported the growth of their collective identity through borrowed culture from Africa and Europe and through created culture unique to Maroons. They were self-sufficient and practiced sustainable agricultural practices. The British recognized the Maroons as a threat to their possession of Jamaica and embarked on multiple campaigns against the Maroons, utilizing both external military force, in the form of Jamaican mercenaries, and internal force in the form of British and Jamaican military regiments. Through a systematic breakdown of the power structure of the Maroons, the British were able to subject them through treaty. By addressing the nature of Maroon society and growth of the Maroon state, their agency can be recognized as a dominating factor in Jamaican politics and development of the country. In 1509 the Spanish settled Jamaica and brought with them the institution of slavery. By 1655, when the British invaded the island, there were 558 slaves.1 During the battle most slaves were separated from their masters and fled to the mountains. Two major factions of Maroons established themselves on opposite ends of the island, the Windward and Leeward Maroons. These two groups formed the first independent polities from European colonial rule. The two groups formed independent from each other and with very different political structures but similar economic and social structures.

  • Jamaica HEALTH SITUATION Jamaica Is the Largest English-Speaking Island in the Caribbean and Is Classified As an Upper Middle- Income Economy
    Jamaica HEALTH SITUATION Jamaica is the largest English-speaking island in the Caribbean and is classified as an upper middle- income economy. It derives most of its foreign exchange from tourism (50%) and remittances (15%). Debt is approximately 107% to GDP. Pockets of poverty exist predominantly in the rural areas. Jamaica is vulnerable to natural disasters including hurricanes and flooding. The last major earthquake (6.5 on the Richter scale) occurred more than a hundred years ago (in 1907). The National Development Plan Vision 2030 continues to guide Jamaica’s strategic development and a recent analysis has demonstrated close alignment with the SDGs. Health priorities include universal health coverage, non-communicable diseases, health promotion, primary health care, insect vector control, health information systems and disease surveillance. Jamaica is undergoing epidemiological and demographic changes, with a declining 0 -14 age group (10.9% of total population) with the older age groups 50 – 59 years and over 60 years showing the largest percentage change with increases of 15% and 10% respectively, working age group 48.6% %) and dependent elderly population (11%).%). Under five mortality has declined from 29.5 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 15.7 per 1,000 live births in 2015, a 47 % decline with an average annual decline of 1.9%. The country has maintained its status of being measles, rubella, congenital rubella syndrome and polio free with an average vaccination coverage of 93% in 2013, 92% in 2014 and 91% in 2015. Emerging and re-emerging diseases: In 2015 and 2016, as in much of the Americas, Jamaica experienced epidemics of chikunguya, Zika, dengue and influenza.

  • Jamaica in the Atlantic World
    Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Gilder Lehrman Center International Conference at Yale University, co‐sponsored by the Yale Center for British Art The Legacies of Slavery and Emancipation: Jamaica in the Atlantic World November 1‐3, 2007 Yale University New Haven, Connecticut Masking the Spirit in the South Atlantic World: Jankunu’s Partially‐ Hidden History Kenneth Bilby, Center for Black Music Research, Columbia College, Chicago Available online at http://www.yale.edu/glc/belisario/bilby.pdf © Do not cite without the author’s permission What exactly is Jankunu, and what does it represent? No one seems absolutely sure – not even the scholars who have looked at it most closely.1 We are safe if we start with the most general of definitions, such as this one taken from a school book: “Jonkonnu [is] a festival with roots going back to the days of the slave trade” (Cooke 1998: 12). Festive traditions going by this name have been documented in several far flung parts of the Anglophone Caribbean – most notably in Jamaica, the Bahamas, and Belize – as well as in the United States, particularly in North Carolina and Virginia. We find many variations in details when we examine Jankunu from one place to the next, but there are certain basic elements that seem to be shared everywhere: almost always, there is some combination of masking (or at least costuming), parading, drum‐based music, and dance. The other shared feature – and it is a very important 1 one – is that everywhere Jankunu seems to be closely associated with the Christmas holidays, and sometimes New Year’s celebrations as well.

  • Two Devon Families in Jamaica: a Local Association with Slavery by Gillian Allen
    Two Devon families in Jamaica: a local association with slavery by Gillian Allen Maritime South West No 21 (2008); Revised 21/07/2017 My perspective on slavery I take the view, first propounded by Eric Williams in ‘Capitalism and Slavery’, that slavery was not a marginal enterprise but that it was central to the development of the British economy in the 18th century. It produced capital for the industrial revolution; it prompted the development of financial institutions and the improvement of shipping and the navy. It was central to the development of the prosperity we enjoy today. It was also a major step on the road to globalisation, bringing together disparate parts of the world in one economic enterprise, with the founding of multi-cultural societies. By the same token, the Transatlantic Trade in Africans left a legacy of tribal conflict in West Africa, and of poverty in Africa and the Caribbean, and of the racism which hampers the participation of black people in our prosperity even today. My view is that it is important for us to know about our own history and to address the issues that arise from it. The extent of our involvement in an iniquitous system has been denied, hushed up and erased from the history books. I believe that it is behoves us to uncover that hidden history, to understand and discuss it, and to come to terms with it. I think that a thorough examination of our history will enable us to admit to our latent racism and to begin to establish a more honest dialogue among the inheritors of the legacy of slavery – the black people on either side of the Atlantic, and the whites; the enslaved and the enslavers.

  • Examining Race in Jamaica: How Racial Category and Skin Color Structure Social Inequality
    Race and Social Problems https://doi.org/10.1007/s12552-020-09287-z Examining Race in Jamaica: How Racial Category and Skin Color Structure Social Inequality Monique D. A. Kelly1 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Jamaica’s social inequality is primarily held to be class-based due, in part, to the country’s perceived ethno-racial homoge- neity and to the particularities of its colonial past. However, whether “race” also systemically shapes inequality in Jamaica remains understudied. To address this empirical lacuna, I examine the efects of two measures of race—categorical race and skin color—on years of schooling and household amenities using data from the 2014 AmericasBarometer social survey. I fnd that access to household amenities and years of schooling are starkly structured by racial category, and even more robustly by skin color, across all dimensions. The fndings challenge long-held assumptions that marginalize race with regards to social inequality in Jamaica. They also suggest the importance of a multidimensional approach to studying the efects of race for understanding stratifcation dynamics in Jamaica. As an English-speaking, majority Afro-descent society in the Caribbean, the study’s fndings add a unique country case for comparison to Latin America and may also speak to other similar contexts in the region.
