Jamaica
Introduction [Top of Page] Background: Jamaica gained full independence within the British Commonwealth in 1962. Deteriorating economic conditions during the 1970s led to recurrent violence and a dropoff in tourism. Elections in 1980 saw the democratic socialists voted out of office, and a more conservative government installed. Political violence marred elections during the 1990s.

    Jamaica's Geography
    Pinnacles, Tropics and Beaches

    The island country of Jamaica is the third largest island of the Greater Antilles of the West Indies, (about the size of Connecticut in the United States). Its maximum length, from east to west, is 235 km (146 mi), and its maximum width is approximately 80 km (about 50 mi). The terrain is mountainous, except for several tracts of lowlands in the southern coastal area. The fabled Blue Mountains dominate the eastern end of the island, and create perfect growing conditions for high-quality coffee. See a map of Jamaica here.
    Formation of the Island Chain
    Jamaica belongs to the Central American region of the Western Hemisphere. The West Indian islands are actually the summits of a submarine range of mountains which in prehistoric times perhaps formed one large land mass connecting Central America to Venezuela in South America. During the ages, vast changes took place in this region of the earth's crust. The land subsided beneath the sea. When it rose again only the highest parts of it appeared above the surface of the sea. These formed the Caribbean islands, which have remained separate and distinct islands ever since. Mineral deposits in Jamaica include gypsum, lead, and salt. The bauxite deposits, in the central section of the island, are among the richest in the world. Rich soils are found on the coastal plains. Jamaica is perhaps best known internationally for its miles of white sand beaches stretching out into the blue Caribbean Ocean. Surrounding this white sand ring are tropical forests through which more than 120 rivers flow from the mountain tops to the coast. Within open areas, great central plains form large fertile agricultural lands, that are bathed in the eternal summer of warm sunshine and soft rain. The northeast trade winds and mountain breezes keep the temperature pleasant year round. The average temperature is 82 degrees F (27 degrees C), and the average annual rainfall is 78 inches (198 cm).

    Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm). Assist with community development projects in the fabled Blue Mountains. See your efforts transform a village! Jamaica's popular tourism image is of vast sandy beaches and all-inclusive hotels. But the island's small villages represent a more realistic view of Jamaican culture and community life. These are economically poor, isolated communities where people struggle to survive. As English-speaking descendants of slaves, the Jamaicans are resilient, proud, and resourceful. While their lives are difficult, the people are hard-working, spiritually enriched and hopeful for their future. Global Volunteers started its ground-breaking work in the Blue Mountain communities, and we continue this 20-year relationship today. Since 1984, we have been privileged to work with and learn from the generous people in this region. "We invite you to share this formidable relationship with us! In all of the areas we serve, you will be helping to ensure a better future for the children and their families of these quiet villages."
