This is the first scholarly biography of Edward Philip George Seaga, retired prime minister of Jamaica (1980–1989) and former leader of the Jamaica Labour Party (1974–2005). Patrick Bryan examines Seaga in light of the twentieth-century history of Jamaica, which experienced the challenges of race, colour, economic dependence, the transition from the British colonial period to independence in 1962, and the challenges of creating a Jamaican national state and separate cultural identity.
