From: Clarkejnc-AT-aol.com Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2003 12:31:35 EDT Subject: Jamaican Tourism under Democratic Socialism Greetings Everyone: Growing up in Jamaica in the 70's under Manley, I often heard as part of the circulating oppositional discourse that after the nationalism of Bauxite and the acquisition of several formerly foreign-owned hotels, the word put out by Washington was that Manley had to be punished. The result: the refusal to "sell Jamaica" by tour operators and the refusal to by Jamaican Bauxite on the world market. I am more interested in the first narrative about tourism and its decline in the 70's and 80's as part of a wider strategy of isolating and punishing the Manley Regime. Can anyone suggest work that documents this, especially work that traces the numbers and percentages of this decline? Many thanks in advance. Joe Joseph N.
