Notes:
Caribbean Reasonings Conference (5th : 2006 : Mona, Jamaica)., 302 p, Richard Hart's quest for political autonomy, decolonization and regional unity has earned him a space in the annals of history as one of Jamaica s leading nationalist figures and as a vital contributor to the Caribbean integration movement. As a key proponent of social, political and economic transformations in the region, Hart fought arduously for trade unionism, political sovereignty and mass-based democratic political parties among other important issues which advanced the lives of Caribbean nationals.
