1739 Race and the Economics of Colonialism: A View of Island of Jamaica, and the City of Kingston, around the Year 1900. This paper examines the social, political, religious and economic life of Jamaica around the year 1900. Particular emphasis is placed upon how its primate city -Kingston - grew as a migration point for rural poor in search of work; a migration which encapsulates the issues of land policy and income distribution at the turn of the century. Kingston represents both a colonial capital and the key transfer point for the exchange of staple exports from the island's interior to ships for manufactured goods from abroad. Within this context, it is argued that the overriding question in Jamaican society in 1900 was that of race. Race and racism defined Jamaican social, economic, and even religious life to a profound degree; a fact which resonates in the Jamaica of today. 12 pgs. 27 f/c. 6b.

1832 "Babylon on a t'in wire": A View of the Island of Jamaica, and the City of Kingston, at the End of the Twentieth Century. This paper examines the social, cultural, and economic life of Jamaica at the end of the twentieth century. Particular emphasis is placed upon how its primate city - Kingston - has become a city of the developing world; characterized by its shantytowns as a result of internal migration. Whereas, at the turn of the century, Kingston was the key transfer point for the exchange of staple exports from the island's interior to ships for manufactured goods from abroad, at the end of the century its shantytowns have become major cultural production sites for music such as reggae. As much as the overriding question in Jamaican society in 1900 was that of race, at the end of the century race still defines Jamaican society. With the new industry of mass tourism, race and class issues once again resonate in the social and political life of Jamaica. 14 pgs. 31 f/c. 7b.`

However, the possibilities for a brighter future lie in an acknowledgment by the people and polities of the region of the realities of a globalized marketplace dominated by large trading blocs such as NAFTA and the EU. In such dangerous waters, the only viable future for the micro-states of the Caribbean lies in a rejection of history and a closer integration of their political and economic cultures. 11 pgs.
