- 135 p., "Colonie britannique depuis 1655, la Jamaïque obtient son indépendance en 1962. Destination d'un voyage sans retour pour près d'un million d'Africains déportés, l'île est rongée par les cicatrices mémorielles de l'esclavage. Dominée par les Créoles, paupérisée et confrontée à une offre politique nationale inadaptée, la population africaine souffre de l'absence d'une identité noire revendiquée et institutionnalisée. De ce déni de reconnaissance officielle jailliront des mouvements alternatifs, dont la célèbre communauté rastafarienne. Incitant à réfléchir sur les mécanismes d'émergence des groupes identitaires, ce travail met en lumière l'importance de l'histoire et des problématiques de la mémoire dans le processus de construction des identités sociales et souligne le rôle central de la culture dans les luttes de pouvoir"--P. [4] of cover.

- 331 p., Partly autobiographical, this novel looks at the racial politics of the 1950s and 1960s. Ramsay Tull is witness to the black racial discontents and the desire for national independence that are threatening the old colonial order; but when a chance comes to study at Oxford University, he becomes immersed in European literary culture and Marxism. On his return to Jamaica, Ramsay becomes actively involved in radical nationalist politics and begins his second journey, away from his middle-class origins and back to a true appreciation of the Jamaican people.
