Bibliography
Students and teachers of education in the Caribbean have long relied on ethnographic research from North America to enrich their understanding of life in schools and classrooms. Based on actual experiences from the perspectives of both students and teachers, this collection of ethnographic research articles provides the first up-close view of Jamaican schools and classrooms. Hyacinth Evans and her research team used careful, well-executed interviews and participant observation methods. The result is an insightful view of the ways society's tensions are played out in educational settings, the ways personalities are shaped and identities formed in face-to-face interactions, and the ways circumstances and experiences in the Jamaican setting affect teaching and learning. The articles examine - Student-teacher interaction - Teacher authority - how it is maintained, nurtured, or eroded - The social construction of student interest and attention versus disruptiveness and apathy - Consequences of streaming children in perceived ability groups - Standard Jamaican English (SJE) methods and their effectiveness in teaching Creole-speaking students - Teaching and learning in schools where materials and resources are limited - Career decisions for teachers This book is an essential addition to the body of education texts used throughout the Caribbean, geared for undergraduate and postgraduate students, classroom teachers, and anyone interested in schools and education.

Characterized by fast-paced, highly danceable rhythms, chutney is a fusion of traditional and contemporary Indian and Caribbean influences. In this volume Tina K. Ramnarine explores the evolution of chutney and introduces the emerging Indian-Caribbean genre into the area of scholarly discourse. Through analysis of the music, Ramnarine provides insights into social processes, effects of the diasporic settlements and ways the music operates as a symbol of Indian-Caribbean identity. This introduction of new cultural elements is a common occurrence among people transplanted to an unfamiliar geographical and cultural environment.

For over a decade, this helpful teacher's guidebook has been widely used in Jamaican schools and in metropolitan schools with Jamaican students. The book indicates the ways in which Jamaican Creole differs from Standard Jamaican English. For easy reference, the book is organized into four sections: 1. Words that look alike but mean different things in the two languages. 2. Words that are different but mean the same things. 3. Grammatical structures that are different but convey the same information. 4. Idiomatic Speech or writing.

Bibliography
In 1750, Thomas Thistlewood, the twenty-nine year old son of a Lincolnshire tenant farmer, set sail for Jamaica in the hope of making his name and his fortune. He remained in Jamaica, never returning to England, until his death in 1786, During his time in Jamaica, Thistlewood kept a rich and detailed diary. Now Dr. Burnard extensively analyzes Thistewood's career as a plantation overseer and his personal relationships. As related by Burnard, and as recorded by Thistlewood in his diary, those relationships reveal some fascinating intersections between social class, race, gender, sex and sexuality. Chronologically, Thistlewood's diary covers the years that witnessed indisputably the most significant political and military events and development in the eighteenth-century history of Jamaica: the serious slave unrest of the 1760s, the Imperial crisis of the 1760s and early 1770s, the War for American independence and the immediate consequences of that war for Jamaica and Britian's other Caribbean possessions. It is, however, not so much it time-span as its contents that makes Thistlewood's diary so compelling. Yet what has attracted the attention of historians in recent years including
