Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twentieth Century Jamaica No book on Jamaica, written with intimate knowledge of the country and its people, has appeared for twenty years. Sir Sydney Olivier´s White Capital and Coloured Labour does not pretend to treat of Jamaica only, and is in any case concerned mainly with the economic and political aspects of West Indian life. It is the best book of its kind on the subject, though now and then I have found myself obliged to disagree slightly with some of its conclusions. Mr Archibald Colquhoun is another writer who (in Greater America) has surveyed the West Indian question; but he has done so from what may be called the international point of view. No abler work on the future of America in the Caribbean Sea has been issued since Greater America was published; but though the author devotes a couple of chapters to Cuba, on Jamaica he writes but a sentence or two. Mr Algernon Aspinall´s The West Indies holds the field as the most reliable and best written compendium of information on the British Caribbean Islands. These three books - Sir Sydney Olivier´s, Mr Colquhoun´s, and Mr Aspinall´s are invaluable to the student of West Indian affairs; but it is not so much the student as the general reader that I have had in mind when writing the chapters contained in this little work.
