Synthesising the latest scholarship on race with well-established principles of language change and diffusion, they present a satisfying answer to the question of how Jamaican Creole has achieved popularity everywhere but at home, and the consequences thereof. This work will be of interest for years to come to all scholars of Caribbean culture and society.?-- Jason F. Siegel, University of the West Indies at Cave Hill, Barbados This book examines the racial and socio-linguistic dynamics of Jamaica, a majority black nation where the dominant ideology continues to look to white countries as models, yet which continues to defy the odds. The authors trace the history of how a nation of less than three million people has come to be at the centre of cultural, racial and linguistic influence globally; producing a culture than has transformed the way that the world listens to music, and a dialect that has formed the lingua franca for a generation of young people. The book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Caribbean linguistics, Africana studies, diaspora studies, sociology of language and sociolinguistics more broadly. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aEnglish language$xDialects$zJamaica 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zJamaica 607 $aJamaica$xCivilization 607 $aJamaica$xRelations 615 0$aEnglish language$xDialects 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 676 $a427.97292 676 $a410 700 $aDevonish$b Hubert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058401 702 $aCarpenter$b Karen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910407711703321 996 $aLanguage, Race and the Global Jamaican$92499668 997 $aUNINA
