The Independence Anthology of Jamaican Literature

The Independence Anthology of Jamaican Literature
[Kingston] Jamaica : Arts Celebration Committee of the Ministry of Development and Welfare, 1962
227 p. ; 22 cm




One of the few books in the Collection published in the Caribbean, this anthology, produced by the Institute of Jamaica under the general editorship of A.L. Hendriks, celebrates Jamaican independence. The official seal on the back cover and the celebrating figure executed in a generalized Africanist style on the front provide rich contrasts of design and meaning.
