- Abstract
"World War II Camps in Jamaica: Evacuees, Refugees, Internees, Prisoners of War" by Suzanne Francis-Brown explores the history of the camps in Jamaica during World War II. The book highlights the diverse experiences of the residents, including evacuees from Gibraltar, European refugees, enemy aliens, prisoners of war, and Jamaicans detained under local regulations. It examines the social and political landscape of Jamaica before the war and the challenges posed by the introduction of a white working-class population. The book also delves into the management of the camps, the interactions between residents and the local community, and the commemoration of the camps in Jamaica today. Overall, it provides valuable insights into colonial policy, colonial encounters, and the wartime history of the Caribbean and the British Empire.
