Jamaica, 1836-1945

Collection: Caribbean Colonial Statistics from the British Empire, 1824-1950    Volumes    Jamaica, 1836-1945
Upon its discovery in 1494, Jamaica was home to an estimated 60,000 Amerindian people. The settlement of the colony by Spanish colonists resulted in the entire Amerindian population being eradicated by the latter 17th Century. The Spanish ceded their control of Jamaica to Britain in 1670 and at the point where these records commence the British were running the colony. Jamaican slaves were emancipated two years prior to the first of these Blue Books being published. During the years covered by these publications, the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865 led to Jamaica becoming a crown colony with a Governor. The violent strike of 1938 led to the formation of the People's National Party in 1938, then the Jamaican Labour Party in 1942. These items conclude in 1945, Jamaica would not gain its independence until 1962.
