Opis

Challenges the notion that demands for independence developed in Jamaica or had a strong local following. Instead, Timm posits and proves that the strongest impetus for anti-colonial demands came from a small group of expatriates in the USA, whose ideas were met with strong and persistent skepticism at all levels of Jamaican society, including the political elite.
