This 1998 New Edition of Mirror Mirror is augmented by a New Introduction. In revisiting Mirror Mirror, Professor Nettleford presents a current perspective on the ever prevalent issues of Identity, Race and Protest in Jamaica. It is the hope of the publishers that this timely "revisit" preceding the New Millennium will compel Jamaicans of all hues to realize that social and racial cohesion is an absolute for national survival and development.

Mirror Mirror demonstrates Mr. Nettleford's deep knowledge and understanding of issues which are currently galvanizing the attention of people in Third World countries beyond Jamaica's borders.
