JAMAICAN HANDS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
Lyror
decades Jamaicans
—
and West Indians more broadly
—
have migrated, ac first
* a
Britain .md then to North America. Jamaican Hands Across the Atlantic outlines
the pain and pleasure of migration showing how members of the same
ŕamilies
migrated to
different
continents yet succeeded in maintaining a network or contact
and mutual support including those left behind or who chose not to migrate.
Based on in-depth interviews, the book provides vivid accounts of the struggles or
Jamaican migrants alar arrival in Britain or North America, at work, in housing and
education, the racism encountered, and highlights the key role of women as organizers
in
ι
lu-
migration effort.

hese
interviews, carried out among migrant and non-migrant
famaicanSi are often marked by humour and colourful Jamaican vernacular, revealing
.1
range of issues at the heart of the migrator)· experience. What appears initially to be
cause lor laughter, later unravels into stories of prejudice, disappointment,
underachievement .mdalienation.
At the same time, the migrant lite stories offer a precious glimpse of the now
disappear
ini;
world of Jamaican rural communities, of the fluid networks of extended
families, and the role ol religion and education in generating ambition and eventual
migration,
li
is particularly interesting to see how famaican migrants were able to
maintain some of the cultural attitudes which they brought with them, such as child
shifting within the extended family, and racial mixing. The book also reveals the
experience
ul
those few, in this case mainly from Britain, who were able to retire to
l.im.nca, only to find that after years of absence, both they and the island have so much
changed that
tlu·}·
are now regarded as English.
Jamaican
Наші*
Across the Ail,
unie
is
.1
unique account of a type of transnational
family, which may become increasingly typical in the new era of a globalized world
economy .md communication. It attests to the resilience and adaptability of a people
who refuse in be defined
m
terms ol their geographical birthplace making the book a
delightful and
inspirine
read.
