Does anybody know a site (or a book) that discusses the early history of Jamaica prior to Columbus' invasion of the island.
Most histories of Jamaica seem to concentrate on slavery days, National Heroes or the trade union activites of Bustamante and Manley.
Sorry if the board actually has a history section. I couldn't see one while glancing through.
Slavery days have gone and Jamaica is now a fully independent nation, but the poorest people in Jamaican society still suffering hardship and discrimination.
If there is no history section, can the admin introduce one. There must be people on here anxious to contribute and many more anxious to learn.
