Planning the Past studies the way a post-colonial society
reconstructs its national history and grapples with its colonial
past, specifically in Port Royal, a Jamaican village with a
dramatic history of pirates, naval admirals, and earthquakes. Anita
M. Waters argues that the plans for Port Royal's heritage tourism
development represent a chronological record of historical
revisionism, and the fact that none of the plans has been realized
reflects post-colonial social processes and national ambivalence
about piratical and naval history. This interdisciplinary study
will be valuable reading for students of historiography, piracy,
Caribbean history, Caribbean politics, and heritage tourism.
