Itå§äºa letter written by the author to the Colonial Secretary, expressing concerns about the dire conditions facing the country's Black citizenry. The author, a Baptist missionary, had witnessed firsthand the poverty and oppression endured by the formerly enslaved population. The letter sparked a series of public meetings, known as the "Underhill Meetings," where Jamaicans from all walks of life voiced their grievances and demanded change. The book examines the social, economic, and political landscape of Jamaica in the aftermath of slavery, highlighting the failures of the colonial government to address the needs of the Black majority. It explores the role of key individuals and organizations in the movement for social justice, while also shedding light on the tensions between the ruling white elite and the marginalized Black population.
