Rezensionen

"The diaries are supplemented by comprehensive footnotes and several fairly short elaborations, and there is a thorough introduction that seeks to position the diaries in their historical and political contexts. ... they provide a record of interesting and turbulent times in Jamaica's social and political history ... . these diaries tell us much of note about a decolonising and postcolonial society, about the author himself, and about how the two came together at a particular moment in time." (David Dodman, Bulletin of Latin America Research, Vol. 36 (4), 2017)
