Synopsis
When we hear of Jamaica or the Caribbean, we think of beautiful islands of paradise with sun, sea and sand, reggae music, cannabis, and "irie" people like Usain Bolt- people who are living out their best dreams, desires, and lives. But this book analyzes this motif, given the historical and current economic and political situation in Jamaica and the Caribbean and the "Global South." In an attempt to escape the adverse realities of poverty, inequality, and injustice, the people of the Global South find themselves in north metropolises with very little agency and minimal change to their lives. In fact, except for the use of cleaning neoliberal waste, the immigrant is usually portrayed as an alien with three heads and big sharp teeth seeking to steal and destroy the profit and disrupt society. As such we will discuss Black, brown, and Pan-African struggles for economic prosperity, justice, and freedom and consider efforts, abilities, or inabilities to chart their own futures since decolonization and realize real political independence and economic prosperity. Perhaps, they are charting their own course by the few corrupt of the status quo who are benefiting from partnerships with the neoliberal regime of the "Washington Consensus," advocates of the "bureaucratic phenomenon," while the masses are left behind. John Williamson, the inventor of the term "Washington Consensus," believes the term has two quite different meanings. First is the meaning he gave the term, which involved consensus around a set of ten policy reforms, which he believed were widely accepted as beneficial by economists. The approach will be interdisciplinary and comprehensive, drawing on various disciplines and experiences and going beyond Jamaica to consider the wider Caribbean and the diaspora in the United States. It draws on past and present works on the subject and relies on readers' abilities, knowledge (primary or secondary), and skills to challenge, critically analyze, and develop their own thinking within a Jamaican, Caribbean, its diaspora, and/or American context given this century's challenges and opportunities. This Book is divided into two parts. Part A will examine whether Jamaica's inequality trends from the mid-1970s up to the beginning of the twenty-first century were a consequence of the structural adjustment policies stipulated by the neoliberal technocrats of the Washington Consensus in Jamaica. The study does not only concern itself with Jamaica, but Jamaica provides a case and a context within which to engage the subject matter. Part B will argue, given Jamaica's experience with neoliberal restructuring, that Jamaica-like many former colonies-is far from independent. Further, we will consider the response to the processes of decolonization and globalization that have deepened the realities of the peoples of the Global South and the peoples in the diaspora. There have been hundreds of protests against the Washington Consensus and their lackeys since 1976 by the global justice movement and recently the Black Lives Matter movement in America. Street protests and some degree of violence have been the main strategies of the group until recently. But are the resistance movements closer to achieving their aims? The effectiveness of the resistance will be determined by the extent to which they have realized actual power: "demonstrated change in the desired direction.", This is the Paperback format of the book Neoliberalism. It explores the realities of Jamaica and the Caribbean, challenging the idyllic image often associated with the region. It delves into the historical, economic, and political situations in the Caribbean, particularly in the context of the "Global South." The author examines how individuals from the Global South seek better lives but often find themselves with limited agency and minimal opportunities for change in metropolises of the Global North. The book focuses on the struggles of Black, brown, and Pan-African communities in their pursuit of economic prosperity, justice, and freedom since decolonization. It questions their ability to shape their own futures and achieve true political independence and economic well-being. The discussion also highlights the corrupt aspects of the status quo, where a few benefit from partnerships with the neoliberal regime while the masses are left behind. Using an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach, the book draws from various disciplines and experiences, extending beyond Jamaica to encompass the wider Caribbean and the diaspora in the United States. It encourages readers to challenge existing narratives, critically analyze the subject matter, and develop their own thinking within the Jamaican, Caribbean, diasporic, and American contexts. The book outlines a two-part project. Part A aims to examine whether Jamaica's inequality trends are a consequence of the structural adjustment policies imposed by neoliberal technocrats of the Washington Consensus. It explores the impact of "structural adjustment" on Jamaica's economy and its relationship to income inequality and poverty from the 1960s to 2008. Part B argues that Jamaica, like many former colonies, remains far from independent despite its experience with neoliberal restructuring. It explores how the Caribbean's economic policies have transformed since World War II, influenced by the resurgence of neoliberalism in the 1980s. The essay discusses the deepened dependence of Jamaica on the new global elite and the implications of decolonization and neoliberal globalization, drawing upon Frantz Fanon's ideas. Overall, this book aims to provide a platform for examining and addressing the challenges, opportunities, and solutions concerning Caribbean and Pan-African issues. It encourages critical thinking and exploration of these topics to foster meaningful engagement and sustained improvements in living standards for the people of the region.
