From Africa to Jamaica offers a new look at the Atlantic slave trade in its final years; fleshing out the historical portrait of the African men; women; and children who were sold in Jamaica and were thus among the last of the enslaved to put their stamp on Jamaican society. There is no comparable study that takes such a comprehensive approach; looking at both the African and Jamaican sides of the trade system.

Brilliant book on Native American issues in modern societyBy RichardC'Contemplations of a Primal Mind' by Gabriel Horn was a watershed for me; and complete revelation which I had long been looking for.As a non-Native American I was looking for a way to understand Native American culture; and particularly the situation Native Americans face living in modern US society.This book gave me all that; really showing the difficulties being faced to preserve the Native American culture when under the bombardment of modern materialism and 'cultural values'.It is a brilliant book; coupling those issues in with some of the very enlightening and spiritual aspects of the Native American culture.I strongly recommend this book to all non-Native Americans (as well as Native Americans). It gives a story of Native American issues in modern society; devoid of any stereotypes or wishful thinking.As a sequel to this book; I would give an even stronger recommendation to reading Gabriel Horn's first book; 'Native heart; An American Indian Oddyssey' (*****); which goes further into both the Native American spirituality and the struggles they face from the bigotry and sterotypes inherent of modern US society.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
