Many of these publications are the result of individual research
by staff and graduate students who which have been willing to share
their source material in the interest of advancing the research
of Jamaica’s social history. A significant number of the publications
are also of tremendous use to teaching in secondary and tertiary
institutions, and accordingly, many purchased each year teachers
and students in these institutions. Special mention should be made
of publications which cover aspects of the CXC and CAPE History
syllabi. The SHP has in its immediate plans to publish Lectures
in CAPE History which will provide wide coverage of History topics
which form part of the Caribbean Advance Proficiency Examinations
in History. This will provide a much needed text for a growing constituency
of students in Jamaica and the Caribbean.
The most recent SHP publication, Not for Wages Alone. Eyewitness
Summaries of the 1938 Labour Rebellion in Jamaica (2003) edited
by Patrick E. Bryan and Karl Watson, is based on 35 oral testimonies
concerned with the social and economic conditions of Jamaica at
the time of the 1938 labour disturbances, which marked a pivotal
period in Jamaica’s social and political history.
