Описание: An unsung heroine of the Crimean War

The flickering light that emanated from Florence Nightingale's lamp penetrated more darkness than she or anyone else of her time will have imagined. It illuminated the appalling deficiencies in the care of wounded and sick British servicemen on campaign during the Victorian era and it propelled 'the lady with the lamp' to well deserved fame in her own time and ever afterwards. It is therefore unfortunate that this same light blinded the public consciousness to many other extraordinary people who also worked tirelessly to assist neglected British soldiers and sailors in the middle of the 19th century. Florence Nightingale, despite her many virtues, was a woman not entirely divorced from the 'moral standards' of her time and this bore significantly on the subject of this book, Mary Seacole, because Nightingale rejected her as a nurse on her own staff. Mary Seacole was born in Jamaica in 1805 and was of mixed race. Her mother had cared for sick servicemen and Mary continued that humanitarian tradition in Panama before borrowing money to make the 4,000 mile journey to the war against the Russians being fought in the Crimea. There she treated the wounded of both sides of the conflict, both on the field of battle and in her own 'hotel.' This book is 'Mother Seacole's' (as she was known to the British soldiers) own account of her extraordinary life. It tells of a remarkable woman, who possessed astonishing determination and great humanity-which is all the more incredible since she was hampered by the bigotry and prejudice that were common against coloured people and women in general. At the end of hostilities she returned to England all but destitute and had to be assisted by those who remembered her great kindness during the war. This is a remarkable story and is highly recommended.

Описание: In this book, From State to Markets: Journey of the Jamaican Economy, the

author has produced a comprehensive and up-to-date work on the development of

Jamaica's modern economy from Independence to the present. This journey of the

Jamaican economy, described in magisterial style by Cezley Sampson, did not

begin in 1962, but had its antecedents in 300 years of British colonial rule,

characterized by a dominant sugar monoculture, monopolistic control of essential

services and industries, dependence on imperial trading preferences and an

underdeveloped Public Service that was neglectful of the rural poor in particular.

Sampson traces the post-independence development of Jamaica's public sector

and public enterprises, in the areas of competition policy, law and institutions and

in the provision of essential services of health, education and water. He outlines in

meticulous detail, the reform processes undertaken by the different political

administrations that have resulted in the creation of executive agencies and the

plethora of regulatory institutions that are today, essential parts of Jamaica's

economic governance landscape.

But the work does more than that; it provides a sweeping history of the country's

economic experience of what the author describes as the 'socialist economic policy

adventure of the 1970s' and its replacement by a take-over of Jamaica's economic

policymaking into a forcible clientelist relationship with the International

Financial Institutions in the period of the 1980s and beyond. However, starting in

the decade of the 1990s, the country was able to gradually free itself from the grip of

the Washington Consensus with their advocacy of supply-side economics and,

through a process of privatisation, begin to transition into the market driven

economy that we know today.

The book tells the story of the privatisation of the Jamaican economy through

case studies of six core sectors of the economy namely Aviation (Air Jamaica and

the two international airports): Agriculture (divestment of sugar-producing

enterprises): Telecommunications liberalisation: Financial sector liberalisation

and the privatisation of National Commercial Bank: Electricity sector liberalisation

and regulation; and Public/Private partnership in the Road Sector.

An outstanding feature of this work is the range of reference material the author

has gleaned from published works by the country's leading economists as well as

reports from state agencies Ministry Papers and other official documents,

supplemented by numerous maps, tables, graphs and other statistical material.

Описание: Jamaica’s rich culture is known the world over; and every aspect of this culture has been influenced by Jamaica’s African heritage. From speech to dress, and spirituality to dance, from food to folklore and from music to art and religion, African retentions from the time of slavery have become more than preserved aspects of Jamaica’s past; African traditions have become part and parcel of Jamaican culture.In this Reader, Coester and Bender have compiled some of the most important ethnographic work by noted researchers which, although previously published, have been exceptionally difficult to access by the growing community of scholars of African-Caribbean and Jamaican studies. Several seminal articles on aspects of African-Jamaican culture are included in this rich and valuable collection that describes and analyses the elements that make up a distinctive African-Jamaican ethos.

Описание: This book explores the genealogy of Jamaican dancehall while questioning whether dancehall has a spiritual underscoring, foregrounding dance, and cultural expression.This study identifies the performance and performative (behavioural actions) that may be considered as representing spiritual ritual practices within the reggae/dancehall dance phenomenon. It does so by juxtaposing reggae/dancehall against Jamaican African/neo-African spiritual practices such as Jonkonnu masquerade, Revivalism and Kumina, alongside Christianity and post-modern holistic spiritual approaches.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in performance studies, popular culture, music, theology, cultural studies, Jamaican/Caribbean culture, and dance specialists.
