Modern Blackness : Nationalism, Globalization, and the Politics of Culture in Jamaica PDF
by Thomas Deborah A. Thomas
Edited by Silverblatt Irene Silverblatt
Part of the Latin America Otherwise series
Description
Thomas combines historical research with fieldwork she conducted in Jamaica between 1993 and 2003. Drawing on her research in a rural hillside community just outside Kingston, she looks at how Jamaicans interpreted and reproduced or transformed on the local level nationalist policies and popular ideologies about progress. With detailed descriptions of daily life in Jamaica set against a backdrop of postcolonial nation-building and neoliberal globalization, Modern Blackness is an important examination of the competing identities that mobilize Jamaicans locally and represent them internationally.
