Sources & Bibliography

A significant portion of this text was published in a different form on the World Wide Web as Jamaica, The Land We Love © 1996–2002 by Russell G. Campbell. I used dozens of sources in the form of hard-copy books, eBooks and online resources. Full versions of several of these texts are in the public domain and are available on the Internet in digital form.
