This book examines the racial and socio-linguistic dynamics of
Jamaica, a majority black nation where the dominant ideology
continues to look to white countries as models, yet which continues
to defy the odds. The authors trace the history of how a nation of
less than three million people has come to be at the centre of
cultural, racial and linguistic influence globally; producing a
culture than has transformed the way that the world listens to
music, and a dialect that has formed the lingua franca for a
generation of young people. The book will be of particular interest
to students and scholars of Caribbean linguistics, Africana
studies, diaspora studies, sociology of language and
sociolinguistics more broadly.
