Destination of the MonthEvery month, IIEPassport features a new destination online and in a brochure mailed to study abroad advising centers. Information contained in these pieces is highly specific for prospective study abroad students and is extremely informative. Featured Destination of the Month: Jamaica
Jamaica provides a fascinating study abroad opportunity for those looking for a diverse and challenging Caribbean experience.
While Jamaica is traditionally pictured as a Caribbean paradise, the island also has a rich cultural heritage to offer to willing students. Jamaica's civilization began with the Carib and Arawak Indians long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494. After Columbus, the island became a Spanish colony, and after 1655, a British colony. Under the British it became famous for its wealthy sugar plantations, which required the importation of an extensive number of slaves from Africa. (Over 90% of Jamaica's current-day population is of African descent.) With the emancipation of the slaves in 1938, the plantations then began to utilize indentured labor from India and China. Jamaica gained freedom from the United Kingdom in August of 1962, but remains a member of the British Commonwealth. |
