De Peiza delivered this sentiment during The Sunday Roast of the DLP, titled Estimates 2021-2022: DLP Responds. She made the argument that diversification of an economy is an exercise that is best undertaken when the economy is booming, and noted that there had not been a boom for a long time. She also acknowledged that in the last three years of the DLP administration in 2015, 2016 and 2017, there was growth but it was negligible.

    1 Whither Nationalism Fifty Years of Independence: Jamaica’s impact and development as a sovereign state th 10 February 2012 2 Whither Nationalism Jamaica on the Cusp of Fifty: Whither Nationalism and Sovereignty? Brian Meeks Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies University of the West Indies, Mona I say that the mission of my generation was to win self-government for Jamaica. To win political power which is the final power for the black masses of this country from which I spring. I am proud to stand here today and say to you who fought with me, say it with gladness and pride, Mission accomplished for my generation’. And what is the mission of the generation, the generation that succeeds me now I quit my leadership? It is to be founded on the work of those who went before. It is to be made up by the use of your political power of tackling the job of reconstructing the social and economic society and life of Jamaica. This, then, is the hope of the future which can only be born of an understanding of the country today and what it thinks and what it feels.1 Norman Washington Manley On the evening of December 29, 2011, Portia Simpson Miller led her People’s National Party (PNP) to a decisive 42-21 seat victory over the incumbent Jamaica Labour Party (JLP)2, setting a new precedent as the JLP, only recently having anointed Andrew Holness to replace Bruce Golding as its leader and Prime Minister, turned out to be the first government in the country’s modern political history to serve only one term in office.

  • On Modernity, Identity and White-Collar Boxing. Phd
    From Rookie to Rocky? On Modernity, Identity and White-Collar Boxing Edward John Wright, BA (Hons), MSc, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September, 2017 Abstract This thesis is the first sociological examination of white-collar boxing in the UK; a form of the sport particular to late modernity. Given this, the first research question asked is: what is white-collar boxing in this context? Further research questions pertain to social divisions and identity. White- collar boxing originally takes its name from the high social class of its practitioners in the USA, something which is not found in this study. White- collar boxing in and through this research is identified as a practice with a highly misleading title, given that those involved are not primarily from white-collar backgrounds. Rather than signifying the social class of practitioner, white-collar boxing is understood to pertain to a form of the sport in which complete beginners participate in an eight-week boxing course, in order to compete in a publicly-held, full-contact boxing match in a glamorous location in front of a large crowd. It is, thus, a condensed reproduction of the long-term career of the professional boxer, commodified for consumption by others. These courses are understood by those involved to be free in monetary terms, and undertaken to raise money for charity. As is evidenced in this research, neither is straightforwardly the case, and white-collar boxing can, instead, be understood as a philanthrocapitalist arrangement. The study involves ethnographic observation and interviews at a boxing club in the Midlands, as well as public weigh-ins and fight nights, to explore the complex interrelationships amongst class, gender and ethnicity to reveal the negotiation of identity in late modernity.
