The Island of One People is an engaging exploration of the Jewish-Jamaican community and its contribution to the development of Jamaica. Considerable attention is given to prominent Jewish families such as the Lindos, deCordovas, Ashenheims, Henriques’ and Matalons. The pioneering distinction of these families and others, in all aspects of Jamaica’s history, development, industry, commerce, politics, education and culture is heralded in this publication. The result is a vibrant, engaging story of not just Jewish, but Jamaican history.
