Product description...

A compelling exposé on Jamaica's roller coaster journey through five and a half decades of independence. Ride along on this journey to discover interesting information that addresses the following: • The role of Jamaica's Prime Ministers in shaping its independent journey • The three political eras that they fit in • Factors that have stymied Jamaica's progress • Practical solutions and revolutionary ideas to reroute Jamaica's journey on a path of progress Author Jermel Shim provides a perspective of Jamaica's turbulent journey that will motivate Jamaicans at home and abroad to make sacrifices that will help make Jamaica a better place for all. "The Long Road to Progress for Jamaica is not a doomsday book by any means. In fact, in spite of what Shim identifies as the unerring truths and conclusions and inevitably sad results of wrong moves made for most of our independence journey, this compelling book is not short of realistic optimism or a practical search for solutions." Lance Neita, Jamaica Observer Columnist

Author Information...

Jermel W. Shim was born in Jamaica and educated in Canada as a mechanical engineer. From his childhood days he developed a strong interest in politics. Although living in the US, for the past 37 years, he has maintained a connection with Jamaican politics that is obvious in this book. This is his fourth published book and first on Jamaican politics. His other books that reflect his love of politics and social issues are: • A New Perspective on Race-related Problems in Corporate American Companies • Whom God Has Blessed Let No Man Curse • Racism in America. In the review of the book about Pres. Obama (Whom God Has Blessed Let No Mann Curse), Kimberlee Hicks, Pacific Book Review wrote, "…there is no denying his passion for the subject, nor his knowledge of politics, which makes him an excellent spokesman for the cause."
