The Politics of Change: A Jamaican TestamentChallenges the view that public investment patterns reflect political pressures from pro-development groups. Manley, Prime Minister of Jamaica, examines the condition of the country as a newly independent nation seeking to define a moral frame, a social objective, and a possible methodology for its political system. He discusses imperialism, human rights, education, productivity; his own attitude toward communism, socialism, and drugs. No bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
