Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 in any case 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 slightly with some of its conclusions. Mr Archibald Colquhoun is another writer who (in Greater America) 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 America in the Caribbean Sea has been issued since Greater America was published; but though the author devotes a couple of chapters to Cuba, on Jamaica he writes but a sentence or two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by four extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. It focuses especially on four reprints: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native (1878) with engravings by Clare Leighton, a 1930 edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851) with images by Rockwell Kent, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of Jane Austen's novels (1786-1817) illustrated from 1957 to 1974 by Joan Hassall. Taken together, these reprints are indicative of a legacy crafted from historical distance, through personal, political, and artistic circumstance, and for a new century. With biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources as well as close readings of images and texts, this is a richly illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals and Reminiscences of Jamaica Plain, 1897 This sketch was prepared by request to be read before the Jamaica Plain Ladies' Tuesday Club. Subsequently a desire was expressed to have it put in more permanent form and offered for sale at a Fair for the benefit of the Jamaica Plain Indian Association. Al though personally reluctant to appear before the public in this way, I have allowed my desire to aid a good cause and give pleasure to friends who have kindly received my paper to inﬂuence me in its publication. I am indebted to The Memorial His tory of Boston, to Drake's Town of Roxbury, to Dr Thomas Gray's Half Century Sermon, and to the memory of a few of the older residents for some of the dates and incidents given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold study traces the processes by which a ‘history’ and canon of Caribbean literature and criticism have been constructed. It offers a supplement to that history by presenting new writers, texts and critical moments that help to reconfigure the Caribbean tradition. Focusing on Anglophone or Anglocreole writings from across the twentieth century, Alison Donnell asks what it is that we read when we approach ‘Caribbean Literature’, how it is that we read it and what critical, ideological and historical pressures may have influenced our choices and approaches. In particular, the book: * addresses the exclusions that have resulted from the construction of a Caribbean canon * rethinks the dominant paradigms of Caribbean literary criticism, which have brought issues of anti-colonialism and nationalism, migration and diaspora, ‘double-colonised’ women, and the marginalization of sexuality and homosexuality to the foreground * seeks to put new issues and writings into critical circulation by exploring lesser-known authors and texts, including Indian Caribbean women’s writings and Caribbean queer writings. Identifying alternative critical approaches and critical moments, Twentieth-Century Caribbean Literature allows us to re-examine the way in which we read not only Caribbean writings, but also the literary history and criticism that surround them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mafoota: A Romance of Jamaica "Yet Earth saw one thing - one, how fair! One grace that grew to its full on Earth; Smiles might be rare on her cheek so spare, And her waist want half a girdle's girth, But she had her great gold hair." Robert Browning. When God had finished writing the Commandments, the Devil came and read them through. "Very nice," he said. "Very nice, indeed! But I will add one more, and I undertake that so long as a man keeps that one, he may break all the others with impunity - on earth. My offer does not hold good for another world, of course." Then, after the others, he added the Eleventh Commandment: "Thou Shalt not be Found Out." And ever since then men have found the Devil's statement perfectly true; but by reason of their frailty and the Satanic sense of humour, they have also found that the Eleventh Commandment is harder to keep than all the rest of the Decalogue, and that its originator places traps for the unwary who neglect his particular law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jamaica Congregational Churches: A History and Memorial, 1901 The publication of this little book is part of a scheme of the Jamaica Congregational Union for the celebra tion of the opening of the Twentieth Century. Our Jamaica churches have always manifested an interest in their own history, and have held in affectionate memory those who have laboured in the Gospel amongst them. Many of these memories are, how ever, fading by the lapse of time, and from the fact that few remain with us whose connection with the mission covers the sixty-six years of its existence. Records are scanty, and traditions are becoming indistinct and doubtful. One of the objects in View in the preparation of this volume has been, therefore, to gather, sift, and make permanently accessible the main facts of the history of the mission, and of the several churches founded by it. The facts for the historical sketches of the churches have been supplied for the most part by the present pastors, but valuable aid has also been rendered by the Rev. T. H. Clark, London, who furnished a sketch of each station from records in his possession, by which information from other sources has been confirmed or supplemented.

Book excerpt: Women across the Caribbean have been writing, reading, and exchanging cookbooks since at least the turn of the nineteenth century. These cookbooks are about much more than cooking. Through cookbooks, Caribbean women, and a few men, have shaped, embedded, and contested colonial and domestic orders, delineated the contours of independent national cultures, and transformed tastes for independence into flavors of domestic autonomy. Culinary Colonialism, Caribbean Cookbooks, and Recipes for National Independence integrates new documents into the Caribbean archive and presents them in a rare pan-Caribbean perspective. The first book-length consideration of Caribbean cookbooks, Culinary Colonialism joins a growing body of work in Caribbean studies and food studies that considers the intersections of food writing, race, class, gender, and nationality. A selection of recipes, culled from the archive that Culinary Colonialism assembles, allows readers to savor the confluence of culinary traditions and local specifications that connect and distinguish national cuisines in the Caribbean.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Half Century Sermon, Delivered on Sunday Morning, April 24, 1842, at Jamaica Plain Tm; following Discourse was intended exclusively for the audi ence to whom it was addressed. Desirous to preserve the facts it contained relative to their origin as a Society, they have requested its publication. Some parts are here thrown into notes, that then occupied a place in the body of the Discourse - information being the only thing intended. It is still hoped that this consideration will both account for, and justify, a minuteness, which to a stranger may appear unnecessary, but to a Parishioner, will be interest ing like family portraits, estimable only to the domestic circle, whose ancestry they transmit. To that Society to whom the author has so long and so happily ministered, he now affectionately and respectfully inscribes it, with his most earnest prayers for their temporal and immortal welfare.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and History of Grace Church Jamaica, New York This book is written with the conviction that the per sonal and dramatic elements of history are as important as the principles which are motives to its development. In moral and social progress men and women become the visible actors and representatives of passions and truths that lead to the self-denials and deeds which ennoble the life of a community or nation. Church associations and movements are interesting and stimulating to succeeding generations in the measure that individuals stand out in the incidents and results that make up history. Therefore this effort to promote loyalty to the past of Grace Church aims to preserve to another century the memorials of more than two hundred years of human and Christian activity and beneficence. Much more has been set aside than has been presented here, to show the force of Church ideals and conﬂicting principles and passions. They have been judged with calmness and impartiality. As such I hope the treatment of individuals and measures may be accepted by my readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
