Description

In Praise of Jamaica celebrates the achievements of the Jamaican people - both home and abroad - invoking themes of the island's natural beauty and the strength and courage of its people.

On the author's return from Canada to Jamaica in 1989, it took a few years to re-focus on what it meant to be Jamaican. He then began to research the factors that differentiated jamaica, a small practicing democracy, from other countries with a similar colonial heritage. "In Praise of Jamaica" attempts to answer the questions -- what is uniquely Jamaican and why, and has the country achieved culturally since its independence in 1962.
