BY MARY LANGFORD

Brief Description:
The story of the Quaker presence in Jamaica from the arrival of the first Quaker settlers shortly after the British conquest in 1658 up until 1995. The book examines the treatment of ex-slaves, American Friends' mission activity, and the twentieth century life of Jamaica Yearly Meeting. Mary Jones Langford provides not only a history, but an instructive commentary on Quaker missionary work and local Jamaican cultures.
