Reviews

Freedom's Children provides a detailed narrative and analysis of Jamaican political history between 1938 and 1944, centering on the roles, actions, ideas, and rivalry of Bustamante and Manley. Palmer's scholarship is impeccable. The book makes an important contribution to the historiography of modern Jamaica and, by extension, the Anglophone Caribbean. --Bridget Brereton, University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad & Tobago


A readable and free-flowing narrative. . . . Will be of interest to students of Jamaica's labor and political history.--The Historian
