Investigating the cultural, social, and political histories of punishment during ninety years surrounding the 1838 abolition of slavery in Jamaica, Diana Paton challenges standard historiographies of slavery and discipline. The abolition of slavery in Jamaica, as elsewhere, entailed the termination of slaveholders’ legal right to use violence—which they defined as “punishment”—against those they had held as slaves. Paton argues that, while slave emancipation involved major changes in the organization and representation of punishment, there was no straightforward transition from corporal punishment to the prison or from privately inflicted to state-controlled punishment. Contesting the dichotomous understanding of pre-modern and modern modes of power that currently dominates the historiography of punishment, she offers critical readings of influential theories of power and resistance, including those of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, and Ranajit Guha.
No Bond but the Law reveals the longstanding and intimate relationship between state formation and private punishment. The construction of a dense, state-organized system of prisons began not with emancipation but at the peak of slave-based wealth in Jamaica, in the 1780s. Jamaica provided the paradigmatic case for British observers imagining and evaluating the emancipation process. Paton’s analysis moves between imperial processes on the one hand and Jamaican specificities on the other, within a framework comparing developments regarding punishment in Jamaica with those in the U.S. South and elsewhere. Emphasizing the gendered nature of penal policy and practice throughout the emancipation period, Paton is attentive to the ways in which the actions of ordinary Jamaicans and, in particular, of women prisoners, shaped state decisions.

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
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.

Robinson-Smith Название: Revivalism: Representing an Afro-Jamaican Identity ISBN: 9766406545 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789766406547 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 25080.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Maria A. Smith presents an overview and genealogy of Revivalism in this work. She explores the role of the Revival iconography in building a culture of shared understanding among Revivalists and, by extension, African Jamaicans. The Watt Town setting, with bands coming together from communities all over Jamaica, engaging in the same practices, is a symbolic homeland where people celebrate their Africanness and sustain the collective memory of Revivalists.Revival iconography is explored through its many modes: visual, sound and movement. Seals, symbols and colour symbolism are presented as a representation of the repertoire of images that make up the Revival iconography. Revival cosmology in the rituals and ceremonies are explored and the spaces created by the seals are treated as liminal ones for the enactment of cultural performances. Smith makes the point that the iconography makes it possible for Revivalists to interpret events and rituals in much the same way across Jamaica. Iconography is the symbolic language and carrier of culture that is central to the practice and production of shared meanings, and this language gives Revivalists a sense of identity. The Revival iconography stores information that makes it possible for Revivalists to reconnect with African metaphysics, thus reclaiming the African self.

A Jamaican Family's Saga 2 is a continuation and climax of A Jamaican Family's Saga, the original work by Leonard Archie Wilson, a fictionalized biography of the life of Althea Ulrica Richardson, his actual mother. The matriarch is portrayed by Ulrica Richards, from her birth to her death. The story resurrects a true incident in the life of Althea. In the 1940s in Jamaica, her youngest brother, Real, was either murdered or accidentally devoured by sharks off the coast of the island. In the fictionalized account, one of her sons and his wife pull off a Macmillan and Wife style investigation to almost solve this seventy-two-year-old mystery.

Описание: Challenges the notion that demands for independence developed in Jamaica or had a strong local following. Instead, Timm posits and proves that the strongest impetus for anti-colonial demands came from a small group of expatriates in the USA, whose ideas were met with strong and persistent skepticism at all levels of Jamaican society, including the political elite.
