Editorial Reviews
Review
Having first seen his book published in 1974, Manley, the current Prime Minister of Jamaica, analyzes in the epilogue accompanying this new edition why some of the political, economic, and social hopes he held for his country were not realized (it should be noted that he was out of power for a number of years). The text that was the first edition constitutes most of this new edition. Nowhere, however, in the epilogue does Manley retract his earlier declaration, "I should be my brother's keeper" or suggest that his early 1970s "Brotherhood of Man" philosophy was off-base. In the 1974 portion of the text, Manley states that a "new world order" would come upon Jamaica and other Third World countries. As envisioned by Manley, that order was quite different from the new world order recently articulated by U.S. President George Bush.While most readers of this book will probably already have strong feelings about the political, economic, and social issues addressed by Manley, it is hard to imagine anyone still clinging to glorious notions about elitism after reading Manley's impassioned plea for egalitarianism. -- From Independent Publisher --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
