Study of nationalist behaviour in Jamaica prior to accession to independence, with particular reference to differences in images of the future of those destined for political leadership and other leadership tasks and of the masses - comprises social research in the form of a case study designed to ascertain why, in the course of decolonisation, some leaders believe in progress and why others have self-damning expectations for the future, and how such behaviour affects future social change in the country.
Cheryl King's study of Michael Manley's leadership of Jamaica in the 1970's is a well-written and informative study of one of Jamaica's most important post-independence political figures. Ms. King properly starts the study within the historical setting and limitations of Jamaica's colonial experience. The study then moves on to Manley's social democratic thinking and political principles, and his administration's less than successful efforts to work within the powerful chaotic international environment of the 1970's. Readers will encounter an engaging and wide ranging work of consequence. William B. Messmer, Ph.D., Drew University
As high achievers, women have worked hard and dedicated their lives to raising their children, to their jobs, and at educating themselves. Despite their hard work, over the years women have been marginalized, and have encountered barriers in the workplace. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of twelve empowered female leaders in organizations in Kingston, Jamaica, to discover what has contributed to their rise to leadership position. Leadership position was defined as Director, Chief Executive Officer, President, General Manager, or other senior executive position. Five themes emerged from an analysis of the collected data. These themes were used to develop an empowerment model for Jamaican women. The term empowerment may mean different things to different persons. However, irrespective of those differences, at the heart of empowerment is the word power, which plays an integral role in the empowerment process.
