Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students will look at how the Caribbean became a major theatre of contestation between the great maritime empires and saw Jamaica become the centre of British piracy. But the importance of Jamaica goes well beyond this colourful past. In the 20th and 21st centuries this little island has become a cultural powerhouse. Reggae and its musical derivatives emerged as the sound of global resistance from South Africa to East Timor and for Indigenous Australians, Maoris and even African-Brazilians.
