Race, Class, and Political Symbols
Author: Anita M. Waters
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412832687
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Dr. Waters is one of a new breed of analysts for whom the interpenetration of politics, culture, and national development is key to a larger integration of social research. Race, Class, and Political Symbols is a remarkably cogent examination of the uses of Rastafarian symbols and reggae music in Jamaican electoral campaigns. The author describes and analyzes the way Jamaican politicians effectively employ improbable strategies for electoral success. She includes interviews with reggae musicians, Rastafarian leaders, government and party officials, and campaign managers. Jamaican democracy and politics are fused to its culture; hence campaign advertisements, reggae songs, party pamphlets, and other documents are part of the larger picture of Caribbean life and letters. This volume centers and comes to rest on the adoption of Rastafarian symbols in the context of Jamaica's democratic institutions, which are characterized by vigorous campaigning, electoral fraud, and gang violence. In recent national elections, such violence claimed the lives of hundreds of people. Significant issues are dealt with in this cultural setting: race differentials among Whites, Browns, and Blacks; the rise of anti-Cubanism; the Rastafarians' response to the use of their symbols; and the current status of Rastafarian ideological legitimacy.

White Snow Black Lace
Author: Constance Mahood
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595284612
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
White Snow, Black Lace is a story based on the historical events of the 1888 blizzard that went down in history as the "School Children's Blizzard of 1888." All blizzards for the next hundred years would be compared to that blizzard for intensity and loss of life. When the blizzard arrived it caught many children homeward bound, out of school. The sun had been shining and the weather warm and lovely. Many teachers allowed the children to leave a bit earlier. The intensity of the storm was devastating and the full force of the storm would not be known until after the spring thaw. Our homes, clothing, transportation, and communications now are so much better, but back 100 years ago, it was a different world. We enter that world in White Snow, Black Lace.
