Book Description
Soon Come celebrates Jamaican poetry as an expression and extension of the island's rich spiritual traditions, offering fresh insights into some of the late twentieth century's most important and influential poetry. Drawing inspiration from the history of Myal, Kumina, Revivalism, and Rastafari, Hodges develops a critical language for the discussion of a wide range of Jamaican texts, both oral and written. Beginning with traditional proverbs and Anancy stories, Soon Come explores healing rituals, possession rites, and miracles in Revival hymns; the seminal poetry of Claude McKay, Una Marson, and Louise Bennett; the Rastafari-influenced reggae of Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Bunny Wailer, and Ras Michael; the dub poetry of Linton Kwesi Johnson and Mutabaruka; and the groundbreaking work of Dennis Scott, Anthony McNeill, and Lorna Goodison. What emerges is a profoundly hopeful vision of Jamaican poetry as an ongoing ritual that engenders the future even as it reimagines the past. Written in a lively, accessible style, Soon Come will appeal as much to the general reader as to the academic, to the serious Bob Marley fan as much as to the student of New World religious traditions.

Book Description
Soon come in Jamaica means, dont worry, be happy, and was the title of the newsletter Beth and Mike Ohlsson sent home during a Peace Corps tour in Jamaica. It is two years since traumatic events forced Beth to leave Jamaica, the Peace Corps, and husband Mike. Now alone, she decides to come to grips with the past by retreating to her cabin at Bent Needle Lake in Northern Minnesota to write a book to exorcise her Jamaican duppies (ghosts). Actually, SOON COME is two interwoven stories: One is Beths story of two middle-aged people chucking a comfortable life to join the Peace Corps and her role in the events that have been haunting her. The other story is of her summer of writing and meeting Nick Faber, a college instructor, who rents a neighboring cabin. The stories shift between the sharply contrasted worlds of serene Bent Needle Lake and turbulent Jamaica.

Book Description
Soon Come Home to This Island traces the representation of West Indian characters in British children's literature from 1700 to today. This book challenges traditional notions of British children's literature as mono-cultural by illuminating the contributions of colonial and postcolonial-era Black British writers. The author examines the varying depictions of West Indian islands and peoples in a wide range of picture books, novels, textbooks, and popular periodicals published over the course of more than 300 years. An excellent resource for any children's literature student or scholar, the book includes a chronological bibliography of primary source material that includes West Indian characters and twenty black-and-white illustrations that chart the changes in visual representations of West Indians over time.

Book Description
Jamaican-born Erna Brodber, a respected sociologist and critically acclaimed novelist, fuses the literary genres of fiction and nonfiction in this nontraditional, highly imaginative coming-of-age story laced with political and cultural messages. Often referred to as a prose-poem, Jane & Louisa Will Soon Come Home reflects an internal sociological perspective. At first, readers are outsiders, but soon they are invited into the narrative that is best understood in its totality and in the context of Jamaican history. Brodber breaks up the life story of Nellie, the primary narrator, into nonchronological vignettes that explore dimensions of the difficulties of the protagonist’s childhood, sexuality, and search for identity under the circumstances of Jamaica’s tumultuous past and colonial legacy. Brodber does not dwell on race or history but mixes each into Nellie’s process of identity formation: Nellie is not merely aware of how she is seen by others but how she, herself, constructs her own identity—examining her reflection in the looking glass of others’ perceptions of her. In the end, she initiates her own recovery of her past traumas and rewrites her story.
