    Keywords: Jamaicans ; Bevölkerung ; Jamaika ; Jamaika ; Bevölkerung
    Abstract: Jamaica was an English colony for 300 years while the majority of the population were African slaves. This situation produced a syncretic indigenous Jamaican culture. Sugar was the main industry until the slaves were emancipated. A dual economy exists with bauxite mining and alumina processing being the most important legitimate economic activity while the illegal growing and export of marijuana is the most important cash crop. This file contains one document, a cultural summary from the Encyclopedia of World Cultures that was published in 1995. It contains information on history, economy, settlements, kinship, marriage, family, sociopolitical organization, and religion
