Its a classic book one that I used at school in Jamaica. It gives a great
base from whihc to start from.

History of Jamaica

Publisher: Longman; ISBN: 0582038987

for a more contemporary book that focusues a bit more onthe Afro-Caribbean
perspective try :

Publisher: Markus Wiener Publishers; ISBN: 1558761454
