Diaspora & Migration

From a hurricane-battered island clawing its way back to a landmark lawsuit over cannabis royalties, 2026 has tested every facet of the Marley inheritance. Today, on a street named for the island he never stopped singing about, a seven-foot statue of the man is unveiled in Liverpool — and the question is not whether the music endures, but what it is being asked to carry.

From the sugar fields of colonial St. Ann to the debt-laden corridors of late-twentieth-century Kingston, Jamaica spent more than a century moving fitfully toward the ideals Marcus Garvey first articulated from its own hillsides. The opening edition of Marcus Garvey & The Making of Modern Jamaica examines the historical foundations of that journey, from Garvey’s birth in 1887 through the turbulent close of 1998.

Eight months after Hurricane Melissa, the Jamaican diaspora is redefining what it means to build back home — from Windrush reforms in Britain to a landmark diaspora conference in Montego Bay and a global reparations push reshaping Caribbean diplomacy.
