Scope and ContentPamphlets and histories, 1965-1992, issued by the Committee of Women for Progress (Jamaica), the Jamaica Progressive League (Jamaica) and the Youth Forces for National Liberation (Jamaica).
NotesThe legacy of colonialism and neo-colonialism dominated Jamaican politics throughout the period that the materials held here cover, and as a consequence all the items are connected in some way with Jamaican independence, whether reflecting upon the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865, warning against the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) agreements of 1977-1978 or discussing the merits of a republican constitution.
