We would like to express our gratitude to the many persons who contributed

to this book. First, we are eternally grateful to the US Embassy in Jamaica

who funded the research which lead to this book. We are particularly thankful

toBernadette Hutchinson and Shayzan McBeam who assisted us greatly with

the monitoring of this grant.

We would also like to thank the staff of The University of the West Indies

Mona Campus Special Project who managed the grant on our behalf. Their

patience, curiousness, and efciency contributed to the timely payment of the

data collectors, research assistants, transcribers, and editors. Specically, we

would like to single out Lafane Taylor, Debbian Powel, and Jacqueline Mclean.

We would also like to thank the research assistants, data collectors,

transcribers, proof-readers, and editors whose hard work also contributed to

the production of this text. We are particularly greatful to Kerona Spence and

Lorn Dwyer for their dedication and commitment to the supervision of the

data collection and verication process.

Most of all, we would like to express our gratitude to the many participants

who volunteered to be interviewd for this study.Many of them made time to

be interviewed on more than on occasion. Without their support, this book

would not have become a reality, and we really appreciate their sacrice.

Finally, we would like to thank the publisher, Ian Randle Publishers, for their

patience, efciency, generosity, and assistance.
