Product Description
This book brings back into print, for the first timesince the 1830s, a text that was central to the transatlantic campaignto fully abolish slavery in Britain’s colonies. James Williams, aneighteen year old Jamaican “apprentice” (former slave), came toBritain in 1837 at the instigation of the abolitionist JosephSturge. The Narrative he produced there, one of very fewautobiographical texts by Caribbean slaves or former slaves, becameone of the most powerful abolitionist tools for effecting theimmediate end to the system of apprenticeship that had replacedslavery.

Describing the hard working conditions on plantations and theharsh treatment of apprentices unjustly incarcerated, Williams arguesthat apprenticeship actually worsened the conditions of Jamaicanex-slaves: former owners, no longer legally permitted to directlypunish their workers, used the Jamaican legal system as a punitivelever against them. Williams’s story documents the collaboration oflocal magistrates in this practice, wherein apprentices were routinelyjailed and beaten for both real and imaginary infractions of theapprenticeship regulations.

In addition to the complete text of Williams’s originalNarrative, this fully annotated edition includes nineteenth-centuryresponses to the controversy from the British and Jamaican press, aswell as extensive testimony from the Commission of Enquiry that heardevidence regarding the Narrative’s claims. These fascinating andrevealing documents constitute the largest extant body of directtestimony by Caribbean slaves or apprentices. ... Read more

Product Description
In 1974, following a successful parliamentary election, Michael Manley and his People's National Party took Jamaica onto a self-proclaimed democratic socialist path. Although the project failed even prior to the subsequent electoral defeat of the PNP in 1980, this short-lived experiment has evoked considerable interest among development scholars. In this book, Nelson Keith and Novella Keith challenge current interpretations of Jamaican events and develop an alternative theoretical model: national popularism.

Without dismissing the negative machinations by the U.S., internal mismanagement, and other problems, the authors argue that the events in question speak of the fragility of a national class alliance that coalesced temporarily, amidst a crisis, around a "new" politics. While incorporating radical impulses "from below" as well as socialist policies, the new politics was rooted in liberal democratic strains that had evolved historically in ways that could accommodate these impulses. The Manley project can thus be better understood as the "management" of peripheral capitalism rather than a budding socialism. In their rich historical analysis of race and class in Jamaica, the authors trace the emergence and demise of progressive "alternative paths to development" in the Third World. ... Read more
