Description
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 after all con cerned 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 reasonably with some of its conclusions.
Mr Archibald Colquhoun is another creator who (in Greater The usa) 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 The usa in the Caribbean Sea has been issued since Greater The usa was published; but though the creator devotes a few chapters to Cuba, on Jamaica he writes but a sentence or two.
