This book offers a detailed picture of Jamaica before and after independence. A 1961 journal sheds light on the political and social context before independence, while a 1968 journal shows how independence dissolved dissident forces and identifies the origins of Jamaica's current two party politics.
“The diaries are supplemented by comprehensive footnotes and several fairly short elaborations, and there is a thorough introduction that seeks to position the diaries in their historical and political contexts. … they provide a record of interesting and turbulent times in Jamaica's social and political history … . these diaries tell us much of note about a decolonising and postcolonial society, about the author himself, and about how the two came together at a particular moment in time.” (David Dodman, Bulletin of Latin America Research, Vol. 36 (4), 2017)
