While I pursue a new professional direction which requires my full attention, I have put this blog (and most other writing) on hold. I will be back at some point in the future. In the meantime, this blog site remains active and accessible, serving as an archive of sorts. I am heartened that traffic to the blog and to key posts remains robust, as it suggests that I contributed something that others find of value.

VERLEE WROTE:
“…..Some have argued that neglecting colonial-era structures is acceptable and even desirable, as they are reminders of an oppressive and exploitative colonial past. That is a simplistic view, in my opinion, that neglects to consider that these buildings are an important testament to Jamaica’s complex history and were furthermore constructed using Black labour and technical expertise. The small histories matter as much as the big histories when it comes to such buildings and those less acknowledged histories speak about resilience, ingenuity and survival, as much as these structures also represent colonial power….”
100 percent on point! The dumbest thing to do is to pretend history never happened and try to rewrite it via deletion and distortion
