“A complex analysis <strong>of</strong> the development <strong>of</strong> the Jamaican tourist industry.”<br />
—CJLACS/RCELAC<br />
In the nineteenth century, Jamaica transformed itself from a pestilence-ridden<br />
“white man’s graveyard” to a sun-drenched tourist paradise. Deftly combining<br />
economics with political and cultural history, Frank Fonda Taylor examines<br />
this puzzling about-face and explores the growth <strong>of</strong> the tourist industry into<br />
the 1990s.<br />
