Freedom's Children: The 1938 Labor Rebellion and the Birth of Modern Jamaica New edition
Colin A. Palmer
Presents the first comprehensive history of Jamaica's watershed 1938 labour rebellion and its aftermath. Colin Palmer argues that, a hundred years after the abolition of slavery, Jamaica's disgruntled workers challenged the oppressive status quo and forced a morally ossified British colonial society to recognise their grievances.
