In 1975, Cuba sent troops to Angola to help them fight against an invasion by apartheid South Africa. Henry Kissinger, the US Secretary of State was angry at this, so he set out to get countries to denounce Cuba's actions. Jamaica was one of these countries. So, in December 1975, Kissinger met with prime minister Michael Manley on the issue. On this episode, we hear from Manley, himself, how this conversation went and the events that occured in its aftermath - events, that forever changed Jamaica. -Michael Manley's account is taken from, Jamaica: A Struggle In The Periphery by Michael Manley. pg 111 to 117 For additional reading information on this episode and to view our transcript for this episode, visit our website at: ⁠https://www.tenementyaadmedia.com/⁠ Don't forget to follow us on our social media Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/tenementyaad_?lan⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/tenementyaad_/?hl=en⁠ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tenementyaad_ Join our Patreon ⁠here⁠ Want to support The Yaad monetary?

When keeping it real goes…wrong? For a moment in the seventies, Jamaican democracy produced an ambitious plan to end inequality between countries. But when the island's socialist leader, Michael Manley, flew too close to the sun, he got burnt. What was the New International Economic Order? Why did it rattle Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan so much? On this fast-paced tour of Jamaican history, George looks back at the rise and fall of the Third World's biggest political project.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 07/08/2023 Le scénariste Loulou Dedola explore le reggae jamaïcain et le rap français dans deux bandes dessinées publiées cette année / Les inculpations pleuvent sur Donald Trump, mais ne semblent que renforcer sa cote de popularité. En effet, l'ancien chef d'État est plus que jamais favori pour remporter la primaire républicaine. L'Amérique a-t-elle déjà été aussi divisée ? Le scénariste Loulou Dedola explore le reggae jamaïcain et le rap françaisLe romancier Loulou Dédola fait paraître son premier livre “419 African Mafia”, en 2009. L'ouvrage sera par la suite adapté en bande dessinée, et donnera même naissance à un film avec Richard Bohringer. Dès lors, la BD devient le cœur du métier de l'auteur. En 2023, il sort, non pas une, mais deux œuvres chez Futuropolis. “Il était une fois en Jamaïque,” dessinée par Luca Ferrara, qui raconte les coulisses d'un événement mythique sur la planète reggae : “One Love Peace”, le concert donné par Bob Marley à Kingston, en avril 1978. Ce soir-là, dans le stade de Kingston, au cœur d'une Jamaïque à feu et à sang, Bob Marley réunit les deux candidats au poste de Premier ministre, Michael Manley et Edward Seaga, pour une poignée de main légendaire. La seconde BD, “Rap Game”, dessinée cette fois par Massimo Dall'Oglio, retrace le parcours de 20DIKTE, un groupe de rappeurs parisiens, de leur premier freestyle improvisé avec des maillots du PSG devant le stade Vélodrome, jusqu'au sommet du rap. Avec son lot de producteurs cyniques, d'amitiés brisées, et d'égos hypertrophiés et un regard clinique sur les mécanismes de la première industrie musicale en France. Loulou Dédola est notre invité. Donald Trump est-il en train de faire craquer l'Amérique ?Mardi 1er août, Donald Trump a été inculpé de “complot” contre l'État, pour son rôle dans l'assaut donné le 6 janvier 2021 par ses partisans contre le Capitole. Cette charge — totalement inédite aux États-Unis — s'additionne à une ribambelle d'affaires judiciaires engagées contre l'ancien président. La première concerne la campagne présidentielle de 2016 durant laquelle il est soupçonné d'avoir acheté le silence de l'actrice porno Stormy Daniels, pour la coquette somme de 130 000 dollars. Ce chèque pourrait être considéré comme une “dépense électorale” et à ce titre aurait dû être déclaré. Également, une enquête a été ouverte pour tentatives d'influences sur les résultats électoraux de 2020 en Géorgie. Des inculpations qui ne font que renforcer sa cote de popularité… En effet, l'ancien chef d'État est plus que jamais favori pour remporter la primaire républicaine. Si le vote avait lieu aujourd'hui, 54 % de l'électorat voterait pour Trump, contre 17 % pour son dauphin, Ron DeSantis. L'Amérique a-t-elle déjà été aussi divisée ? À quoi jouent les démocrates ? Nos invités en débattent. Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Marie Bonnisseau et Victor Dekyvère ! 28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Prof. Renaldo McKenzie delivered a powerful final Lecture in Caribbean Thought that was climactic at Jamaica Theological Seminary, exploring Walter Rodney's Struggle for Democracy in Guyana exploring how this struggle for democracy and independence continues even today throughout postcolonial countries of the global south. Rev. McKenzie explained that Walter Rodney, a renowned historian and socialist from Guyana, was not only known for his academic work but also as a political leader. He was an active member of the Working People's Alliance (WPA) and a critic of the authoritarian Forbes Burnham dictatorship. Burnham, though claiming to be socialist, maintained a repressive regime in Guyana and had friendly ties with the United States. He held power through rigged elections and suppression of opposition parties and trade unions. Rodney, aware of the risks, chose to work within Guyana to bring about change. He was assassinated in 1980, drawing international condemnation from figures like Michael Manley, Maurice Bishop, and Fidel Castro. In his essay, written before his death, Rodney analyzed the nature of the Burnham dictatorship, exposing its corruption, incompetence, and tactics for consolidating power. He criticized the regime's personality cult and its attempts to appear as a democracy while suppressing fundamental rights. Renaldo raised and expounded on questions that Mr. Rodney seem to be answering in his Essay via Jacobin magazine: 1. Question: How can the working class challenge the Burnham dictatorship and assert its power? 2. Question: What is the significance of civil disobedience and non-cooperation in the struggle for liberation? 3. Question: How can national unity be achieved in Guyana, given its diverse racial and class divisions? 4. Question: What is the alternative to the Burnham dictatorship, and how can the people reclaim their rights and restore democracy? 5. Question: How can resistance be sustained against the violence and intimidation of the dictatorship? Prof. McKenzie concluded this section of the Lecture with a summary, "Rodney's essay explores essential questions related to working-class power, national unity, and the path towards liberation in Guyana. His answers highlight the historical lessons of collective labor actions, civil disobedience, and the need for a government of national unity as a clear alternative to the oppressive dictatorship. He calls for a united and determined effort to reclaim democracy and build a just and equitable society for all Guyanese." Part 2 of the Lecture: Afro-Caribbean Beliefs: Prof. McKenzie then shifts gears to explore Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica and to discuss a study that the class will be embarking on to ascertain how Caribbean people's attitudes towards their Afro-Caribbean Beliefs are changing. Rev. McKenzie discussed Afro Caribbean Beliefs especially those in Jamaica: According to Rev. McKenzie, "in Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing.

When Jamaican Prime Minister and leader of the People's National Party, Michael Manley, came to power in 1972, he instituted a series of socialist socio-economic reforms. His domestic policy sent Jamaica's middle and upper classes, whose wealth was widely accumulated during a Colonial age where the poor were exploited, into a panic. The Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, sensing an opportunity to transfer the elite's wealth into the poor's hands, embarked on a campaign that would help the wealthy move their fortunes outside of the country whilst simultaneously investing that capital into the hands of farmers and workers. With the wealth of the Jamaican elite at their disposal, the church could support local businesses and promote self-reliance, in accordance with Marcus Garvey's principles.Where to find us?yourbrothercast.comlinktr.ee/yourbrothercastCheck out our complimentary content for this episode on our websiteyourbrothercast.com/e4CreditsProduction & post-production: Alan, Benji Anstey, Taylan BulbulTheme Songs: Benji Anstey (guitar), Dan Boshoff (guitar), Dawud Petersen (bass), Nkanyezi Ngwenya (percussion), Conor Hugo (sound engineer), Joshua Riley (mixing and mastering)Visuals and website: Taylan BulbulReggae song: Lawd a Massi by Lou RicardFont (ChemyRetro) by Jay Batch Hosted on Acast.

This is Lecture 5 of Caribbean Thought, a course at the Jamaica Theological Seminary Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Dated February 10, 2023. This is a continuation of week 4 and the Lecture series towards developing a Caribbean Thought Journal. The Lecture was quite powerful as usual. We continued from week 4, conceptualizing the course Caribbean Thought when we had asked, "what is Caribbean Thought, and who determines this?" This week we ask, why who determines this and why is it important for us to revisit the past. The lecture delved into this question by lifting up a current situation in the Caribbean - The Haitian Crisis - where The US and Canada is pressuring the Caribbean to intervene in Haiti on their behalf. We examine this issue in relation to the Caribbean socio-economic challenges which has defined present realities which imposes on cultural identity. We explored this within the context of our understanding of the Caribbean being part of the pan-African struggle for not just independence but economic prosperity that allows them to compete. When we go back in history, we explore situations where the Caribbean's inability to truly realize pan-African goals in light of strategy that continue to keep these peoples and countries down - Debt. We begin the class by revisiting the conclusion of the class: "...the Caribbean represents a people who have been disrupted, detached, displaced, hybridized and made into dependent capitalist states with some level of modernity to promote consumption within the neoliberal globalized world which is largely a consumer society." We then moved into Lecture 5 by exploring the course outline: Course Description: This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.... The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean and the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty....Among the thinkers/works that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, V.S. Naipaul, W. Benjamin, M. Foucault, Franz Fanon, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhabha, Mike Davis, Nelson/Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garnett Roper, Rex Nettleford and the Professor's Works. We then begin to explore Caribbean thinkers: Ramesh F. Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Commonwealth Caribbean," Yet we say: We celebrate #Haiti as the 1st former colonized black country to successfully lead a revolution beating Napoleon. But France turned around & charged them 24 billion to recognize their freedom which Haiti gullibly paid—that has held them down. We concluded with Edward Seaga PM of Jamaica in a 1983 Lecture: "I wish to talk to you about the strategy which I believe can best attain a quality of life for the peoples of Middle Level countries of the developing world," (Seaga, 1983, p. 23, in New Directions.) https://theneoliberal.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

This week, CARICOM/Caribbean Community is meeting for their Bi-annual meeting Wednesday to Friday. Haiti & Guyana's Oil will be on the table. The discussions on The Neoliberal Round/in Caribbean Thought at Jamaica Theological Seminary are proving to be timely as Some CARICOM countries are open to intervening in Haiti by force, while Guyana's discovery of oil is being discussed as an opportunity for them to reinvent themselves. However, what's lacking is capital-intensive investments to boast capacity to operate around the final stages of production & unselfish unity. CARICOM MUST TAKES the lead NOT THE US/CANADA. This requires meeting with Haitians on the ground to find a workable solution, not making decisions about #Haiti that caters to one side without including all sides. Where's the #diplomacy? Intervention by force will fail. Haitians are opposed to any intervention by force. However, they need intervention that includes them, one that is led by them. Anything else that disempowers them/takes their pride of independence will be transient. The discovery of oil in Guyana and the investment and development in financial technology by young professionals may provide the answers the Caribbean needs to reinvent itself. Michael Manley and Edwards Seaga may have found a socio-political remedy through Capitalism/Marxism. Later Bob Marley their contemporaries promoted a new religious consciousness saying they look to a religious consciousness not one based in economics which led to his Rata Tafari. Then There were sports, arts, culture, Merlene Ottey, Usain Bolt, Jimmy Cliff /the Reggae Movement, Beenie Man, Louise Bennette, Rex Nettleford & the Jamaica Dance Movement. Yet, the prosperity still resided around servicing the tourist industry. However, through the years the Caribbean has redefined itself learning and reshaping while still building on its new self and prowess in the arts and culture since culture defines a nation. So that today young Jamaicans continue to display their indomitability & creativity carving out a future for Jamaica. People like Kevin Donaldson who had recently created Jamaica's own remittance company & unveiled a plan for the development of a huge corporate hub. However, work is becoming remote so how's this revolutionary? https://theneoliberal.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

Today we explored the question of the question, to conduct a study of the Caribbean, where must we begin? This episode is a summary of Lecture 3 which was a five-hour long lecture. This the condensed version of Conceptualizing the course, Caribbean Thought. We ask, when we study the Caribbean Thought, including diverse currents that have shaped its present that speaks to a future, how far must we go back? Where must we start? The answer is a complex one because we stated in class that the Caribbean is an invention of the past which must now reinvent itself in the future if we are to surpass the challenges of the present. We say the Caribbean is uncompetitive stemming from a violent past that continues today through neoliberal Globalization. We did not explore neoliberal globalization but provided an understanding of Neoliberalism, Neo-capitalism &Capitalism. We explain Neoliberalism as a form of liberalism used within economics by capitalists to liberalize economies so as to penetrate thereby ensuring profit. We said that we will explore Neoliberalism in more detail later in relation to its effects on the Caribbean when we watch "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black based on a book "A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid - a book about Antigua whose experience of structural adjustment and fight for prosperity resembles Jamaica's so that the film could take from the book and talk about Jamaica. This speaks to the symbiotic relation between the West Indies. We examined the processes of Colonization from the perspective of Fanon who defines colonization as involving a violence of depersonalization - stripping away the individual. We provided an academic answer/response to the question: Are "White-Collar in Jamaica a Crimes a result of Colonization"? And Why are crime rates so high in places like Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica? We suggested a Marxist materialist reply - "Relative Deprivation". What is Relative deprivation? We defined it as the correlation between high crime & high poverty and income inequality. Jamaica and the Caribbean suffers from high poverty and inequality correlated with the highest crime rates in the Caribbean. This is commensurate with what is happening is black and brown communities all over the world - hence supporting the conclusion/analysis of "relative deprivation". We pointed out that to study Caribbean Thought is to do philosophical inquiry which involves logic & Descartes phenomenology, who coined "cogito ergo sum" - I think therefore I am. He recognized the subjectivity of reality outside of objective verification. Further, we pushed the exploration of knowledge by discussing Kant who says that history is a result of human nature and circumstances, and questions Newtonian Physics which formed the basis of western civilization's understanding of reality. The Caribbean as part of a reality of western civilization is influenced by that bent. We reviewed the economic history of western society and capitalism stating that it is within a system that has impoverished or weakened the Caribbean States. We revisited Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations & Weber's Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism regarding the justification and economic principle behind Capitalism. However, we challenged the wealth of nations by invoking Karl Marx who critically re-examines Adam Smith's Accumulation of Capital idea, saying that it was not one in hard work but theft and violence. This then led us to consider the socio-economic/political interests of the Caribbean such as Michael Manley and Fidel Castro who were Nationalists influenced by Marxists critique of capitalism and his idea of Communism. Caribbean Political and literary thinkers were off-center and regarded as Democratic Socialists which had threatened American domination and penetration in the region to what they had believed had given way to socialist ideology.

We revisited Adam Smith Wealth of Nations and Max Weber Protestant Ethic and Spirit of Capitalism regarding the justification and economic principle behind Capitalism. However, we challenged the wealth of nations by invoking Karl Marx who critically re-examines Adam Smith's Accumulation of Capital idea, saying that it was not one in hard work but theft and violence. This then led us to consider the socio-economic and political interests of the Caribbean such as Michael Manley and Fidel Castro who were Nationalists influenced by Marxists critique of capitalism and his idea of Communism. Caribbean Political and literary thinkers were off-center and regarded as Democratic Socialists which had threatened American domination/penetration in the region to what they had believed was given way to socialist ideology.

Renaldo McKenzie, in Caribbean Thought, at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, January 27th, 2023. https://theneoliberal.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

This is the Bonus Video of Season 6, episode 3 available on Spotify and our YouTube channel. As stated in the primary episode in audio: this episode begins the Lecture Series at the Jamaica Theological Seminary on Caribbean Thought: Towards Developing a Caribbean Thought Academic Audio Journal. This is a video episode uploaded from the class Zoom Recording as I am teaching the course via an online face-to-face module while here in Philadelphia USA. This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense. It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people within a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope and opportunity. But the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in deeply esoteric and critical way that deconstructs history and philosophy. At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academics and future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and to consider issues that will make you uncomfortable. The WES explored ways that we can prepare students for the global world. That means moving from the local and turning to the global as we are global citizens. The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean, the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty.  Among the thinkers that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Franz Fanon, Homi Bhaba, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhaba, Mike Davis, Nelson and Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garrnett Roper, Rex Nettleford etc. Themes will be drawn from a selection of contemporary newspaper columnists, talk‐show hosts and the ideas behind the major international agencies and institutions, which have shaped post-independence policies. The selection of thinkers and social movements to be examined will vary with each semester. This is Part 1. 1. Introductions 2. (32) Privilege, Power, Position and the Need for Critical Thinking | LinkedIn 3. Caribbean thought, Ideology and Philosophy (Foundations of Knowledge) The Phaedo, Plato & Socrates 4. Orientalism and Occidentalism The class did not complete Part 1 of the Lesson Plan and will therefore continue with Lesson on Part 2. Rev. Renaldo McKenzie is Creator/Host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast, Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and President of The Neoliberal Corporation. He is also author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and is working on a new book: Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered.

BlackFacts.com presents the black fact of the day for April 22.Bob Marley One Love Concert.It was a large concert held at The National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, and was held during a political civil war between opposing parties Jamaican Labour Party and the People's National Party.With tensions rising, both parties hired local gang members for protection. Ironically, it was the gang members who came up with idea of the One Love Concert. They wanted the fighting to stop. It brought together 16 of Reggae's biggest acts, and was dubbed by the media as the "Third World Woodstock", "Bob Marley plays for Peace" and simply, "Bob Marley Is Back." Peter Tosh took the opportunity during his performance to berate the two political leaders sitting directly in front of him for their positions against legalizing marijuana.The concert came to its peak during Bob Marley & The Wailers' performance of "Jammin'", when Marley joined the hands of political rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga.It was not until May 1981 that Prime Minister Edward Seaga and Michael Manley met again in public and shook hands.It was at the Jamaican State Funeral for Bob Marley.Learn black history, teach black history at blackfacts.com

This Episode "Caribbean Integration Promises not kept - CARICOM needs a Renaissance"  explores Caribbean regional integration as we listen to the voices of the visionaries, former prime ministers Dr. Eric Williams, Michael Manley, and P.J. Patterson as they articulate the vision and the urgency for moving the integration movement forward.Real Talk with Ambassador Curtis Ward is produced by Larry Sindass / Sindass Productions.

Bob Marley is a household name and his legacy stands for peace and one-ness with humanity (as well as smoking the dankness with your college buddies). But his legacy was almost cut short by violence. In 1976, while home in Jamaica, his house was shot up and he took some minor gunshot wounds. He was 2 days away from playing a concert in support of Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley amidst a tense political race, so it was likely a political move to undermine Michael Manley and his event, but Bob Marley played the show in spite of his injuries, saying "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?" Although he performed the concert, he still made his exodus from Jamaica to what would be his new home in England. In "Exodus", Marley draws from all of his experiences from Babylon to Zion, and he takes you on that journey.

In this week's episode Jeremy and Tim focus on the birth of Reggae in Jamaica. Beginning with the island's first popular music, Ska, we hear how the music of Alton Ellis and Desmond Decker transformed into Rocksteady, with it's slower pulse, rootsy feel and serious lyrical turn. Set against the backdrop of Kingston's high crime rate and Rudeboy culture, Tim and Jeremy recount how this music took on the feeling of suffering and anguish many Jamaicans experienced in their lives. We hear how these musicians began to look less to America for their musical inspirations than to the island's Mento folk traditions as the Reggae sound began to crystalize in the late '60s. Also in this episode, we are introduced to the pioneering producer and performer Lee 'Scratch' Perry (more from him next episode), explore the emerging link between Reggae music and Michael Manley's socialist People's National Party, and consider the problematic gender and sexual politics of a genre so focused on emancipation and liberation. Join us next time as we dive deep into Dub... Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert are authors, academics, DJs and audiophile dance party organisers. They've been friends and collaborators since 1997, teaching together and running parties since 2003.

In this week's episode Tim and Jeremy turn their attention to the island of Jamaica. They recount a history of Jamaica as a British Colony and the liberation struggles that grew up in the face of Imperial rule, including the work of Marcus Garvey, the Back to Africa movement, and the eventual socialist prime minister Michael Manley. We hear about the emergence of Rastafarianism in the early Twentieth century, considering the importance of Zion or a promised land to the Rastas, their development into an anti-colonial vanguard, and the role of Indian mystical and religious rites on their own spiritual practices. Jeremy and Tim also introduce us to some major players of the early '60s Jamaican music scene, including the head of Studio One Coxsone Dodd and the founder of Island Records Chris Blackwell. Finally, the pair reflect on how the history of Abolition has been written, how we should seek to remain transparent in the present, and tie these questions of historiography to the BLM protests and toppling of the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol in 2020.

Pearnel Charles, retired politician, former vice president of the Bustamante Industrial and Trade Union cohosted this episode to speak on his days advocating for bauxite workers in the 1960's. The Jamaican bauxite strikes of 1960's were a staple of the development of the bauxite -alumina industry in the country as local workers spoke up about low wages and poor working conditions by the transnational corporation controlling the industry As far back as 1869, the red dirt in Jamaica has always fascinated persons living on the island. It was not until the early 1940's however, that commercial value was put on this red dirt and thus started the beginning of the Jamaica - Bauxite industry. From the 1950's onward, the bauxite-alumina industry has shape Jamaica's economics, development and society. On this episode, we chronicle the early days of the bauxite-alumina industry, the rise of bauxite-alumina transnational corporations on the island and the famous bauxite strikes which took place in the 1960's.

Cette semaine à #histoirede, nos collabos célèbrent la fin de semaine avec trois nouvelles chroniques aux sujets tous plus variés les uns que les autres ! Clément Broche nous décortique l'utilisation du reggae dans la politique jamaïcaine dans les années 1970 à travers la carrière de Michael Manley. Komi Abalo fait ses débuts à l'émission et nous explique la longue histoire du Franc CFA et de son utilisation en Afrique. Finalement, Marjorie Charbonneau retourne parmi nous pour nous parler de la française Rose Bertin, la première créatrice de mode. À l'animation, Marie-Pier Berthelet continue sa lancée et à la régie, le moribond Julien Lehoux.

Auteur-compositeur et interprète rare et méticuleux, Wasis Diop partage son temps de création entre musiques pour le cinéma et chansons ourlées. En 2014, Séquences, collectait une partie de son travail pour le 7ème art, mais depuis Judu Bek en 2008, ses précieuses confidences vocales ne se conjuguaient plus au présent. De la Glace dans la Gazelle vient rompre ce long silence. (Rediffusion) → Le site de Wasis Diop  Wasis Diop vit à Paris, il y a son abri, ses amis, ses amours, son studio et son vélo sur lequel il sillonne la ville pour observer la vie. Il y a vu passer des esprits aux pouvoirs presqu'aussi magiques que les sorciers ou les griots du Sénégal de ses ancêtres. De belles âmes qui l'ont aidé à consolider son chemin. Il y a eu le multi-instrumentiste Loy Erhlich (Hadouk), venu fortifier son association avec son compatriote Umbañ Ukset au sein de West African Cosmos, d'où sort un unique album halluciné et psychédélique en 1974. Cette aventure vivra son apogée, mais aussi son dernier épisode à la Villette, lors d'un concert historique qui marque également les débuts du groupe Téléphone et de Bernard Lavilliers. En 1978, Zabu, ex-chanteur de Magma engage Wasis comme guitariste et l'emmène en Jamaïque. À Kingston, ils travaillent dans le studio enfumé de Lee Scratch Perry et assistent, le 22 avril à l'historique «One Love Peace Concert», à la fin duquel Bob Marley pousse les rivaux Michael Manley et Edward Seaga à se donner une poignée de main, qui devait mettre un terme à la guerre civile qui faisait rage entre les supporters des deux hommes politiques. En 1983, Wasis croise la route de l'Anglais Robin Millar qui, avant de devenir l'heureux producteur du premier album de Sade, réalise son premier single. En 1991, il co-écrit avec la chanteuse d'origine tunisienne Amina, C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison, qui se distingue à l'Eurovision. L'année suivante, sa musique pour le film Hyènes de son frère Djibril Diop Mambéty est un succès qui l'impose comme compositeur pour le cinéma. Plus tard, Wasis, fasciné par le Japon apprend que le saxophoniste et producteur Yasuaki Shimizu (Saxophonettes, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Helen Merrill), fait un casting de musiciens à Paris, inspiré, Wasis improvise un chant qui devient un tube au pays du Soleil Levant. Surpris d'avoir trouvé sa voix, il se convainc d'écrire son premier album de chansons, No Sant que produit Shimizu en 1994. Il découvre le Japon, pays qui lui réservait une belle histoire d'amour, renforcée par la naissance de deux de ses enfants. 4 ans plus tard, Toxu est notamment l'occasion de rendre hommage à l'un des groupes qui ont le mieux réussi le mariage de l'Afrique et du rock : Talking Heads. Son leader David Byrne est séduit par sa version de Once in a Lifetime et l'invite à se produire en direct de son émission de radio très populaire. Après diffusion, les ventes de Toxu se multiplient par dix sur le territoire américain. La même année, Djibril Mambéty Diop, le frère complice, le capteur de lumière s'éteint. Le cinéma africain perd un pionnier, son dernier moyen métrage mis en musique par Wasis, La Petite Vendeuse de Soleil, est présenté à titre posthume. Wasis ne quitte guère les studios d'enregistrement pour le cinéma, une dizaine de bandes sons séparent Toxu de l'album de chansons suivant. Judu Bek sort en 2008, poignée de perles ciselées dont une adaptation en wolof de l'Hallelujah de Leonard Cohen, une prière adressée à l'Ange Djibril. Cinéma toujours avec des musiques, notamment pour le réalisateur tchadien Mahamat-Saleh Haroun ; Daratt en 2006, Un homme qui crie pour lequel Wasis Diop a gagné le prix de la musique au FESPACO 2011, Grigris en 2013 ou Une Saison en France avec Sandrine Bonnaire en 2018 ; mais aussi derrière la caméra. En 2018, Wasis Diop présente 17 rue Jules Ferry, un documentaire sur son ami Joe Ouakam, peintre et personnage-clé de la culture sénégalaise, disparu en 2017. Partagé entre le Sénégal et la France, Wasis Diop est le plus souvent à Paris. Mais dans les rues de cette capitale, il observe que l'élan généreux qui, à ses débuts, lui permit de bâtir un réseau fraternel, s'estompe. Aujourd'hui, la ville de l'amour exprime son romantisme par une collection de cadenas fermés à double tour sur un pont, qui cache avec peine à ses pieds le désarroi de réfugiés abandonnés à tous les vents. Voyage à Paris qui ouvre De la Glace dans la Gazelle, fait écho aux sans-papier de Samba Le Berger, le single de Toxu, ou aux jeunes Africains qui bravent tous les dangers pour rejoindre l'Europe, personnages centraux de Bintou Wéré, l'Opéra du Sahel que Wasis a écrit avec Zé Manel Fortes. Première oeuvre lyrique africaine présentée en 2007 au Théâtre du Châtelet et en 2018 à Palerme, où les rôles principaux sont joués par de jeunes artistes ayant vécu un tel périple. Wasis Diop chante la poésie élégante des chansons de De la Glace dans la Gazelle en français par ce qu'il aime cette langue, mais aussi pour transmettre à un public plus large la richesse de la culture africaine. On y croise le fondateur de l'empire Mandingue (Sunjata) et les femmes qui ont fait sa légende : la mère de Sunjata Keïta (Sogolon) et sa sœur Nana Triban (L'Ergot de Coq). On rencontre aussi des héros d'hier tels le tambourinaires Doudou N'Diaye Rose, créateur du rythme national du Sénégal (La Rose Noire) et, bien sûr, son génial cinéaste de frère (Y'a bon Diop) ou Jean Rouch, ce réalisateur et ethnologue français que Wasis qualifie de père du cinéma africain. Hommage lui est rendu par l'usage de sa voix commentant le rituel dogon Sigui (Le Sigui de Jean Rouch). Il évoque nos problèmes et difficultés si actuelles : les réfugiés (Voyage à Paris), La pandémie (Ame Ly Pandémie), les plaies qui s'abattent sur l'Afrique avec un peu plus de cruauté peut-être qu'ailleurs. Avec des mots imagés, nourris de pudeur poétique, il souligne les problèmes climatiques (De la Glace dans la Gazelle) ou économiques qui poussent certaines femmes à jouer à un trouble jeu d'argent pour nourrir leurs proches (Anna Mou) et les hommes à perdre leurs repères naturels (Parler), pendant que les puissants s'enferrent dans la démesure (Le Cimetière des Gratte Ciels). Ici, comme dans la meilleure poésie, chaque syllabe est choisie à la fois pour son sens et sa musicalité. Et chaque mot est magnifié par la voix profonde, sensuelle et habitée de Wasis Diop. Sa guitare, tour à tour limpide ou hypnotisante, est soutenue par les inventions permanentes du percussionniste franco-américain Steve Shehan, longtemps partenaire de Loy Erlich et Didier Malherbe dans Hadouk Trio et musicien au CV époustouflant (Dylan, McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Youssou N'Dour, Khaled ou Salif Keita ). De la Glace dans la Gazelle est aussi l'occasion de réunir un père et sa fille, Mati Diop, réalisatrice prodige, dont le long métrage Atlantique a reçu le Grand prix du festival de Cannes en 2019 et qui signe le clip de Voyage à Paris. Wasis Diop ne nous avait pas offert de chansons inédites depuis 13 ans. Mais De la Glace dans la Gazelle est un trésor qui méritait largement notre patience.

Have boys been victims of a flawed transition to independence in Jamaica? Is that why there are more women doing well in country's education system? Anthropologist and Senior University of the West Indies lecturer Dr. Herbert Gayle has a powerful view.He has high marks for Jamaica's advancement in education since the attainment of Independence. He highlights the achievements of women in this area, which he attributes largely to the positive messaging about women's place in society that became prevalent under the Michael Manley administration in the 1970s.However, Dr. Gayle posits that the uneven development of the educational status of females, vis-à-vis males has produced a very poor social structure, with high levels of violence being an inevitable outcome.“At the current rate, a lot of women are going to have a MA and no M-A-N; and a lot of men will have dollars, but no sense,” he tells Impacting Jamaica host Byron Buckley.

Cinéma toujours avec des musiques, notamment pour le réalisateur tchadien Mahamat-Saleh Haroun ; Daratt en 2006, Un homme qui crie pour lequel Wasis Diop a gagné le prix de la musique au FESPACO 2011, Grigris en 2013 ou Une Saison en France avec Sandrine Bonnaire en 2018 ; mais aussi derrière la caméra. En 2018, Wasis Diop présente 17 rue Jules Ferry, un documentaire sur son ami Joe Ouakam, peintre et personnage-clé de la culture sénégalaise, disparu en 2017. Partagé entre le Sénégal et la France, Wasis Diop est le plus souvent à Paris. Mais dans les rues de cette capitale, il observe que l’élan généreux qui, à ses débuts, lui permit de bâtir un réseau fraternel, s’estompe. Aujourd’hui, la ville de l’amour exprime son romantisme par une collection de cadenas fermés à double tour sur un pont, qui cache avec peine à ses pieds le désarroi de réfugiés abandonnés à tous les vents. Voyage à Paris qui ouvre De la Glace dans la Gazelle, fait écho aux sans-papier de Samba Le Berger, le single de Toxu, ou aux jeunes Africains qui bravent tous les dangers pour rejoindre l’Europe, personnages centraux de Bintou Wéré, l’Opéra du Sahel que Wasis a écrit avec Zé Manel Fortes. Première oeuvre lyrique africaine présentée en 2007 au Théâtre du Châtelet et en 2018 à Palerme, où les rôles principaux sont joués par de jeunes artistes ayant vécu un tel périple. Wasis Diop chante la poésie élégante des chansons de De la Glace dans la Gazelle en français par ce qu’il aime cette langue, mais aussi pour transmettre à un public plus large la richesse de la culture africaine. On y croise le fondateur de l’empire Mandingue (Sunjata) et les femmes qui ont fait sa légende : la mère de Sunjata Keïta (Sogolon) et sa sœur Nana Triban (L’Ergot de Coq). On rencontre aussi des héros d’hier tels le tambourinaires Doudou N’Diaye Rose, créateur du rythme national du Sénégal (La Rose Noire) et, bien sûr, son génial cinéaste de frère (Y’a bon Diop) ou Jean Rouch, ce réalisateur et ethnologue français que Wasis qualifie de père du cinéma africain. Hommage lui est rendu par l’usage de sa voix commentant le rituel dogon Sigui (Le Sigui de Jean Rouch). Il évoque nos problèmes et difficultés si actuelles : les réfugiés (Voyage à Paris), La pandémie (Ame Ly Pandémie), les plaies qui s’abattent sur l’Afrique avec un peu plus de cruauté peut-être qu’ailleurs. Avec des mots imagés, nourris de pudeur poétique, il souligne les problèmes climatiques (De la Glace dans la Gazelle) ou économiques qui poussent certaines femmes à jouer à un trouble jeu d’argent pour nourrir leurs proches (Anna Mou) et les hommes à perdre leurs repères naturels (Parler), pendant que les puissants s’enferrent dans la démesure (Le Cimetière des Gratte Ciels). Ici, comme dans la meilleure poésie, chaque syllabe est choisie à la fois pour son sens et sa musicalité. Et chaque mot est magnifié par la voix profonde, sensuelle et habitée de Wasis Diop. Sa guitare, tour à tour limpide ou hypnotisante, est soutenue par les inventions permanentes du percussionniste franco-américain Steve Shehan, longtemps partenaire de Loy Erlich et Didier Malherbe dans Hadouk Trio et musicien au CV époustouflant (Dylan, McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Youssou N’Dour, Khaled ou Salif Keita ). De la Glace dans la Gazelle est aussi l’occasion de réunir un père et sa fille, Mati Diop, réalisatrice prodige, dont le long métrage Atlantique a reçu le Grand prix du festival de Cannes en 2019 et qui signe le clip de Voyage à Paris. Wasis Diop ne nous avait pas offert de chansons inédites depuis 13 ans. Mais De la Glace dans la Gazelle est un trésor qui méritait largement notre patience.

Michael Manley, Jamaica's 4th Prime Minister once said any advantage enjoyed by one person over another should not exist at the expense of worth it rights of another but should only reflect legitimate differences in talent and application as they emerge in the context of equal opportunity. Time and opportunity are the great equalizers in an unequal world. Though we will always have differences among us, we all have the time and the opportunity to eradicate inequality one person at a time. Listen in and learn more!

On this episode, Adam talks to J. Michael Manley about how he went from homeless to being a BOLD coach and owning a successful real estate team.  J. Michael started real estate in 2003, had a slow first year selling 12 homes, but sold 42 his second year.  He did this through lead generation, making 1300 calls to FSBOs before he got his first listing.  He became a KW agent in 2009 as the market was crashing and ended up moving in with his in-laws as a result of it.  The urgency that situation created for him lead him to bring his mom on to help him in the afternoons with admin work, and he invested in a BOLD class.  After becoming a market leader, he knocked out goals he was hoping to finish in 4 months in 60 days and became a BOLD coach as well.  He discusses how he recruits people to his team and how he fixed turnover problems he was having on his team with a 10 day bootcamp.Find J.

In this episode we interview Dr. Adom Getachew. Getachew is a political theorist with research interests in the history of political thought, theories of race and empire, and postcolonial political theory. Her work focuses on the intellectual and political histories of Africa and the Caribbean.  In this episode we discuss her 2019 book Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination. In discussion she shares with us the historical development of the concept of Self-Determination and its relationship to anti-colonial movements as well as imperial projects. She touches on the work of George Padmore, CLR James, W.E.B. Du Bois, Eric Williams, Kwame Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Julius Nyerere, Michael Manley and others. Getachew shares contradictions within the concept of self-determination and how the worldmaking visions of anti-colonial nationalists attempted to repurpose institutions like the United Nations. She also discusses the elasticity of empire, and contradictions that arose in the late 1970’s which precipitated the decline of these worldmaking projects, and the onslaught of the global neoliberal order. Finally we discuss her concept of “unequal integration” and the modern institutional language of diversity, equity & inclusion.

In 1976, a young Cindy Breakspeare was selected to represent Jamaica at the Miss World pageant by Mickey Haughton-James. However, an issue was at hand as, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Michael Manley withdrew the country from the Miss World pageant in the same year , thus Jamaican did not have a pageant nor was the country allowed to send a representative to the beauty contest. Manley's reason for the banned was because of his government's decision to stand in solidarity with black South Africans who oppose the Apartheid system in the African country. However, as history would have it, Cindy Breakspeare became the second Jamaican to win the title and Michael Manley would become a decorated global anti-apartheid leader.

In the 1970s, the first PNP led administration underwent measures to upgrade and developed the Lilford, Sandy and Mcgregor Gully in the Kingston and St. Andrew area.

Very Good Trip va vous raconter ce qu'on pourrait décrire comme la naissance d'une mission. Dont l'universalité s'est imposée partout dans le monde. Et comme il est primordial de ressentir les choses, et de les ressentir fortement, avant de les connaître, on va plonger dans l'ambiance fervente d'un concert de 1975. Depuis le début de ce feuilleton estival, j'ai tiré pas mal de fils et le temps est peut-être venu de les rassembler.Alors, je reprends. La Jamaïque, déjà. À peu près la surface de la Corse. Mais enfin une Corse qui aurait, je dis ça pour l'image, pivoté d'un quart de tour, de la verticale à l'horizontale, une Corse qu'on aurait jetée dans la mer des Caraïbes, à environ cent cinquante kilomètres de la côte sud de Cuba, loin à l'ouest d'Haïti. Et où une population huit fois plus importante que celle de la Corse se serait implantée. Pas loin de deux millions d'habitants.Au début des années 1970, 9 Jamaïcains sur 10 sont des descendants d'esclaves jadis arrachés par des négriers aux terres africaines du golfe de Guinée pour venir cultiver la canne à sucre. Ces habitants parlent de ce qu'ils appellent eux-mêmes le patwa, un créole jamaïcain totalement incompréhensible en dehors de l'île.Quand Bob Marley y grandit, il règne une forme d'apartheid qui ne dit pas son nom. Depuis 1962, année de l'indépendance, indépendance par rapport à la Couronne britannique, bien sûr, les Premiers ministres jamaïcains sont Blancs ou bien font la politique des Blancs. Hugh Shearer, Premier ministre, de 1967 à 1972, est issu des classes moyennes noires. Celui-ci réprime avec fermeté ceux qui prônent l'autonomie et le séparatisme de la population noire, en premier lieu les leaders Rastas. Shearer est membre du JLP, le Jamaïca Labour Party, un parti conservateur comme son nom ne l'indique pas.En 1972, la politique jamaïcaine prendra un tournant spectaculaire lorsque Michael Manley, le leader du parti opposé, le People's National Party, le PNP, un socialiste, arrive au pouvoir pour appliquer une tout autre politique. Marley est un Blanc, il est de plus le fils d'un gouverneur britannique de la période coloniale, c'est intéressant à souligner. J'y reviendrai, parce que l'histoire de Bob Marley et des Wailers est profondément imbriquée dans les conflits et rivalités politiques de l'île entre JLP et PNP et leurs hommes de main, aussi violents et corrompus d'un côté comme de l'autre.Bref, la Jamaïque est un pays dont les touristes apprécient les plages immaculées, plantées de cocotiers, les paysages luxuriants et les montagnes où l'on va trouver la fraîcheur. Mais, pour beaucoup de ceux qui habitent en Jamaïque, cette île est une misère dont on cherche à s'enfuir. Pour ceux-là, les États-Unis représentent l'espoir d'une vie meilleure.Playlist :Bob Marley & the Wailers :« Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) - Live at the Lyceum, London/1975 » extrait de l'album « Live !

From the community of Somerset in England, rose the shoe brand of Clarks. It was the Desert Boot, "inspired" by North African soldiers that allow the company to become a global phenomenon. In the 1960's it took off in Jamaica but not in the way anyone expected; wearing a Clarks in that decade could result in you been beaten by the police and in some cases thrown in jail. A banned in 1973 by the Jamaica prime minister at the time, Michael Manley, resulted in an increase in its popularity; so much that it became the shoe of choice for musicians and socialites. For the next couple of years, the Desert Clarks, Wallabees and Desert Trek became a national phenomenon. In the 2000s, it started to lose its popularity to Nike and Adidas that is until Vybz Kartel, a popular dancehall deejay was asked a question by his mentee, Popcaan.

If you haven’t been using the 1-3-5 tool to get things accomplished in your business, I highly recommend you give it a try. Are you using the 1-3-5 (or GPS) tool to accomplish your goals? Just like the GPS system in your car, this system helps you determine where you’re going in your business career and gives you directions along the way. I’ve been using this tool for the past couple of years now, and you can also use it to accomplish goals in your personal life as well. How does it work? First, you start with one goal, which can be anything from completing a certain number of transactions in a year to taking on a certain type of project in your business. Then, you break that goal down into three priorities. Under each of those three priorities, there are five strategies. We just did a mid-year review for our team so we could check in on the goals we set at the beginning of the year. By doing this, we can see if we’re on track to accomplish them and if there’s anything we could do to tweak them. One of our 1-3-5 goals was to help 150 families in the Tulsa area. Our three priorities for this goal were divided into buyers, sellers, and business partners. We had strategies for each priority, but we noticed during this mid-year review that we hadn’t checked many of them off and perhaps weren’t implementing the right ideas for these strategies. “THE 1-3-5 TOOL HELPS YOU DETERMINE WHERE YOU’RE GOING AND HOW TO GET THERE.” That’s when I heard about a great idea from BOLD coach J. Michael Manley about breaking down your annual 1-3-5 based on leads, listings, and leverage. That’s exactly what we did, and now that we’re halfway through 2017, we have two questions to ask ourselves: What are our biggest sources of business? Can we still plus those? I think the answer is always “yes.” Our biggest source of business is our referrals from our database, meaning past clients, our sphere of influence, and other Realtors. Are there still areas in each of those categories that we still need to plus and tweak? Yes, and that’s our focus for the rest of the year. I have a great 1-3-5 template document I’d like to share with you, so if you haven’t already, head on over to my Facebook blog page “Your Journey With Jennie” and hit “like.” I’ll add the document there so you can borrow it from my Google drive. If you have any questions about this tool or how it can help you in your own business, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to assist you.

Known as one of Jamaica's finest lawyers of his generation, Thompson was a firebrand minister of national security and Member of Parliament under the Michael Manley-led People's National Party regime of the 1970s. Thompson, a Mico College Rhodes Scholar, also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs during the period, and later ambassador and high commissioner to several African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, and Namibia. He had lived in Florida for several years and was in New York to attend a meeting when he died. His infamous statement that 'no angels died at Green Bay' following the killing of five civilian supporters of the Jamaica labour Party by local army personnel at a firing range in the hills of St Catherine in 1977 caused much controversy. The Green Bay massacre occurred 34 years ago on January 5, 1978. Five men from Gold Street and Higholborn Street in the Central Kingston community of Southside were lured into an ambush at the Jamaica Defence Force firing range and shot dead. They had gone there based upon a promise of getting jobs. Among the five killed was outstanding former Santos Football Club and Jamaica midfielder Norman 'Gutto' Thompson.

MICHAEL Manley was born on December 10, 1924. Yesterday marked 90 years since this second son of Norman and Edna Manley (nee Swithenbank) was born at the Nuttall Hospital in Cross Roads in St Andrew. In my opinion, Michael Manley was the print-out of his father Norman Washington Manley. This is not to say that their personalities were the same. Far from it! Norman Manley was almost a recluse in terms of his personality. And his elder son, Douglas, seemed to have inherited some of those traits. Michael Manley, however, was outgoing and charismatic. I have never advocated that Michael Manley be made a national hero. Indeed, I think that the honour that he received is as far as it should go in my lifetime — Order of Merit. I believe that it should wait for 50 years for another generation to objectively decide these things far away from the emotions of the moment. Too many persons are still alive who adored the ground he walked on, and are therefore not objective. And there are too many people still around who hate the very mention of the surname Manley, as can be witnessed in the Jamaica Observer online every time I mention the name — whichever Manley is mentioned. They, too, are far from objective. In addition, we may get into this business of partisan political balance and the list may go on and on and on. If one person from one 'side' is made a national hero, then why not that person from the other 'side' until the entire thing becomes ridiculous.http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/columns/Michael-Manley-s-90th-anniversary--Is-he-a-hero-in-waiting_18083714

Michael Norman Manley ON OCC (10 December 1924 – 6 March 1997) was a Jamaican politician who served as the fourth Prime Minister of Jamaica from 1972 to 1980 and from 1989 to 1992.  He graduated in 1949, and returned to Jamaica to serve as an editor and columnist for the newspaper Public Opinion. At about the same time, he became involved in the trade union movement, becoming a negotiator for the National Workers Union. In August 1953, he became a full-time official of that union. In the election of 1972, Manley defeated the unpopular incumbent Prime Minister, Hugh Shearer, running on the slogans "Better must come", "Giving power to the people" and leading "a government of truth". Manley's successful trade union background helped him to maintain a close relationship with the country's poor majority, and he was a dynamic, popular leader. Unlike his father, who had a reputation for being formal and businesslike, the younger Manley moved easily among people of all strata and made Parliament accessible to the people by abolishing the requirement for men to wear jackets and ties to its sittings.  Under Manley, Jamaica established a minimum wage for all workers, including domestic workers. In 1974, Manley proposed free education from primary school to university. The introduction of universally free secondary education was a major step in removing the institutional barriers to private sector and preferred government jobs that required secondary diplomas. The PNP government in 1974 also formed the Jamaica Movement for the Advancement of Literacy (JAMAL), which administered adult education programs with the goal of involving 100,000 adults a year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Manley

  CrsRadio.com Not Good NEWS... Prince Buster's funeral Yesterday Sibling brawl at cemetery R.I.P .. In sharp contrast to the accepted principle of Islam being a religion that preaches peace, the sons of late ska pioneer Prince Buster marred his funeral yesterday when they engaged in a verbal brawl that almost became physical outside the Islamic Council of Jamaica on Camp Road in St Andrew. The uproar occurred just after Sheikh Musa Tijani concluded the brief Muslim funeral rites. At the centre of the fracas, which saw the siblings hurling insults at each other, was the final resting place of their late father.

William Alexander Bustamante (1884-1977) was a Jamaican labor leader who became Jamaica's first chief minister under limited self-government and the first prime minister after independence in 1962.William Alexander Bustamante, perhaps Jamaica's most flamboyant and charismatic politician, was born William Alexander Clarke on February 24, 1884. His father, Robert Constantine Clarke, a member of the declining white plantocracy, was the overseer of a small, mixed-crop plantation called Blenheim, in the parish of Hanover on the then-isolated northwestern coast of the island. By virtue of the second marriage of Elsie Hunter, his paternal grandmother, to Alexander Shearer, he became distantly related to both Norman Washington Manley and Michael Manley, as well as to Hugh Shearer.After his return to Jamaica, Bustamante established himself as a money-lender in modest offices on Duke Street, then the desired cachet for all business addresses in Kingston. He installed Gladys Longbridge as his private secretary, and she was to accompany him for the rest of his life as confidante, assistant, companion, and, finally, after September 6, 1962, his second wife. Bustamante described himself as a dietician and businessman with North American experience, but while he might have returned with some wealth to the island, his formal training and experience were mostly his own fantastic fabrication.

Edward Philip George Seaga was born on May 28, 1930,  in Boston'.His 18-year-old Jamaican mother, Erna Alleta Maxwell,His father, 29-year-old salesman Phillip George Seaga (who could sell snow to an Eskimo) was a second-generation Lebanese-Jamaican. He graduated from Harvard in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts in social relations.He had by then broadened his academic interest in rural folk life to include recording and producing its evolved urban musical form.Seaga's Gleaner writings brought him to the attention of founder and president of the opposition Jamaica Labour Party, Alexander Bustamante, whose emergence on the national scene owed much to his own strident letter writing (in the 1920s) against Jamaica's ruling colonial order.In 1959 Bustamante appointed Seaga to sit in the upper house of the Jamaican Legislative Assembly.In 1960 he was elected assistant secretary of the party, and two years later he was elevated to the post of secretary.Seaga served at the finance and planning post until the JLP lost power - after two successive terms .Seaga led the JLP to a massive electoral victory over Michael Manley and the PNP - and their "democratic socialist" experiment. Seaga became independent Jamaica's fifth prime minister. Seaga and his government also undertook a pro-Western and particularly pro-US foreign policy stance. Seaga led other Anglo-Caribbean states in opposing the left-wing Maurice Bishop regime in Grenada, enthusiastically backing, after Bishop's demise, the October 1983 US invasion of the island. adapted from By Bernard Headley article Sunday, January 16, 2005

How can Jamaica recover from the FX of Edward Seaga's damaging puppet leadership and restore Michael Manley's? What do you think of this article __. A lot of us don't know why what is talked about in the news is happening today. As always, the press gives a shallow snapshot and does not go in depth so we can get a clear view of what is happening in Jamaica. Here is a profile of Manley and Seaga, two Jamaican prime ministers and how the U.S. installed the White supremacist Seaga as a puppet Avatar in Jamaica. Seaga, a notorious CIA agent who sold Jamaica to servitude of US interest was given a franchise by the CIA. As his reward, the chief Carribean CIA agent, Edward Seaga was given a free hand in ensuring his perpetual dominance over Jamaican politics in macrocosm and Tivoli gardens in microcosm. Seaga then built up Jim Brown and his Shower Posse, into the most feared gang on the Island of Jamaica. Jim Brown and Shower Posse took over the Habour Fronts of Kingston, and controlled the ingress and egress of all drugs and general shipment into the Island. With that assured source of fund, Jim Brown expanded into other businesses, bought land, and commercial properties. His gang was armed with the best, biggest and the most sophisticated weapons. His name was feared throughout the Island. _ from Yahoo question http://www.khilafah.com/kcom/index.php/a… http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/seso… http://www.michaelmanley.org/

Grand Re-Opening Fourteen months ago Chrysler was closing down. We're all familiar with the strange turns the story took. From bankruptcy to Obama to Italy and back, Chrysler survived, jobs were saved and the Pentastar was back in business. Well almost. There was that little thing about new product; it didn't have any and wasn't expected for some time. With its competitors pumping out fresh cars and trucks seemingly each month, it didn't seem like a scenario for success. But somehow, someway Chrysler cobbled together a year of better sales with that aged product and, lo and behold, today it finally has something it hasn't had in over twelve months: a new vehicle in the form of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now it still is the "only" new vehicle available to its dealers for the near future but don't try to rain on Mike Manley's parade with that observation. Jeep's President and CEO is excited about this brand new SUV and what it says about his brand, the company's upcoming products and the future of the new Chrysler itself. For a closer look at this all new Grand Cherokee, the Jeep brand and how it fits into Sergio Marchionne's plan for Chrysler, join John McElroy as he welcomes Mike Manley as his guest on this week's Autoline Detroit. Joining John on his panel are Bob Gritzinger from AutoWeek and Scott Burgess of The Detroit News.
