Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historian David Buisseret teams up with aerial photographer Jack Tyndale-Biscoe in this book to produce a predominantly visual portrait of Jamaica from pre-Columbian times to the modern period." "Aerial photos and satellite images reveal a variety of historical processes much less visible from the ground while the explanatory maps give both the contemporary material and the photos a sharper focus and force the author to ask fresh questions of those images. With this unique combination of text and images Historic Jamaica From the Air brings to life Jamaica's rich history as well as its modern development."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Testimonies on The History of Jamaica Vol. 1 by : Zakiya McKenzie
Download or read book Testimonies on The History of Jamaica Vol. 1 written by Zakiya McKenzie and published by Rough Trade Books. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History was written—England captured Jamaica from the Spaniards under Oliver Cromwell in 1655. Much of this history has been retold by Edward Long, best known for his first socio-economic and political study The History of Jamaica. His polemic supported the enslavement of African and Caribbean people and the monopolies and monocultures played out through the natural environment. These testimonies address some of Long's claims. A slave woman tells of the naming of Catherine's Peak and the erasure of the achievements of Black Jamaicans in the field of natural history. A mystic takes us back to the Spanish occupation. The maroons Juan de Bolas and Juan de Serras grieve their fate and the tragic future that came with sugarcane. These are imaginings of what the people who lived through this wrestling of Jamaica might have said, given the chance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1873 edition. Excerpt: ... PERIOD IV. From the commencement of the Anti-Slavery Struggle to Emancipation. CHAPTER I. HISTORICAL EVENTS. The exultation of the colonists at the victory of Lord Rodney was somewhat abated when the heavy taxation, rendered necessary by martial law, was announced: some consolation was, however, found in the high'prices obtained for sugar and rum. Considerable accessions were also made to the material strength of the colony by the introduction of emigrants from Honduras and the United States of America. In January, 1788, a large convoy arrived from Charleston with sixteen hundred troops, four hundred white families, and four thousand five hundred slaves.* A considerable number of these persons settled in Kingston, and succeeded so well in business as to call forth loud complaints at their exemption from taxation for a term of years. Others, however, were poor, and some thousands of pounds were contributed, by private subscription and parochial funds, for their support. Others again became planters, and were exposed to the same misfortunes as attended large bodies of white emigrants in former days. A list is still in existence of 183 heads of families to whom grants of land were made in St. Elizabeths. This land was little better than morass, and a claim for the payment of 4696, by the gentleman who surveyed the spot and apportioned it, led to an inquiry on the part of the house of assembly, when it was stated in evidence that none but amphibious creatures, such as fishes, * Southey's " History," vol. ii. p. 540. frogs, and " Dutchmen," could live there. One poor gentleman, named Frogge, said he had tried the experiment, and buried most of his family, and that his case was only one of many.* Next year General Campbell relinquished...
Book Synopsis A Tall History of Sugar by : Curdella Forbes
Download or read book A Tall History of Sugar written by Curdella Forbes and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting, epic Caribbean love story, reminiscent of García Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera. WINNER of the 2020 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Fiction! "A Tall History of Sugar is a gift for grown-up fans of fairy tales and those who love fiction that metes out hard and surprising truths. Forbes's writing combines the gale-force imagination of Margaret Atwood with the lyrical pointillism of Toni Morrison." --New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice "A mesmerizing love story that takes place over 50 years in Jamaica." --Tayari Jones in O, the Oprah Magazine A Tall History of Sugar has been longlisted for the 2020 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature (Fiction shortlist)! "Curdella Forbes's A Tall History of Sugar is the most recent in an impressive new wave of novels by Jamaican writers--from Marlon James's Booker Prize–winning A Brief History of Seven Killings to Kei Miller's Augustown, Marcia Douglas's The Marvelous Equations of the Dread, and Nicole Dennis-Benn's Patsy, among others. Forbes provides an eclectic, feverish vision of Jamaican 'history' from the 1950s to the present glimpsed through the experiences of an abandoned mystic-child named Moshe, whose translucent skin and mismatched eyes defy racial category. Who he is and who he becomes--like the country itself--is a riddle that unfolds in episodic bursts and linguistic flourishes." --Vanity Fair, one of the Best Books of 2019 "An epic tale of two soulmates: Moshe Fisher, born with mismatched eyes and pale skin that bruises easily, and Arrienne Christie, 'her skin even at birth the color of the wettest molasses, with a purple tinge under the surface.' Arrienne is his protector at school--and later his lover--but how they eventually wind up together is part of this unconventionally crafted story that spans decades, from the years before Jamaica's independence to the 2010s. Forbes' sentences are the stars here; it's a book that rewards slow, careful reading." --BuzzFeed, included in BuzzFeed's Fall 2019 Preview A Tall History of Sugar tells the story of Moshe Fisher, a man who was "born without skin," so that no one is able to tell what race he belongs to; and Arrienne Christie, his quixotic soul mate who makes it her duty in life to protect Moshe from the social and emotional consequences of his strange appearance. The narrative begins with Moshe's birth in the late 1950s, four years before Jamaica's independence from colonial rule, and ends in the era of what Forbes calls "the fall of empire," the era of Brexit and Donald Trump. The historical trajectory layers but never overwhelms the scintillating love story as the pair fight to establish their own view of loving, against the moral force of the colonial "plantation" and its legacies that continue to affect their lives and the lives of those around them. Written in lyrical, luminous prose that spans the range of Jamaican Englishes, this remarkable story follows the couple's mysterious love affair from childhood to adulthood, from the haunted environs of rural Jamaica to the city of Kingston, and then to England--another haunted locale in Forbes's rendition. Following on the footsteps of Marlon James's debut novel, John Crow's Devil, which Akashic Books published in 2005, we are delighted to introduce another lion of Jamaican literature with the publication of A Tall History of Sugar.
