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.

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.
Описание: African Sovereigns shows how the lived experience of Jamaican Maroons is linked to the African Diaspora. The author demonstrates that an examination of Jamaican Maroon communities, particularly their socio-political development, can further highlight the significance of the African Diaspora as an analytical tool.

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.
