Description

The Jamaican People 1880-1902: Race, Class and Social Control This book provides a penetrating analysis of Jamaica's social, intellectual, and political history between the abolition of slavery and the introduction of universal adult suffrage. The period, often referred to as the "quiet years", is surprisingly understudied in Jamaica's modern history. Patrick E. Bryan explores various aspects of this era, including the development of working-class politicization that gave rise to Garveyism, a response to hegemony and black underprivilege. By examining the social, intellectual, and political landscape of the time, Bryan sheds light on key issues such as law and order, religious and social structure, labour, health, and poor relief. Through this analysis, Bryan offers valuable insights into Jamaica's complex history during this pivotal period.
