In 1975, the West Indies became the first winners of the cricket World Cup. Their style of cricket has always been ideal for this type of game; exhilarating, stroke-making batsmen; penetrative, wicket-taking bowlers and dynamic, athletic fielders. For 15 years between 1976 and 1991, the West Indies ruled the cricket world in imperious style. This book will highlight the sad demise of West Indian cricket, as the accessibility of cable television has shown youngsters in the Caribbean other sports, ones which offer untold wealth to even those of moderate professional standard.

Manley M: The History of West Indies Cricket

Poverty of Nations

Pluto Press

In this book Michael Manley, Prime Minister of Jamaica, records his thoughts on imperialism. "The Poverty of Nations" puts the current situation of the Third World into the context of the three key variables which have shaped the current crisis: the history of modern imperialism from the 16th century, the world dominance of capitalism and the nature and success of independence struggles.

In 1974, it was a fervent idealist who wrote 'The Politics of Change.' After 8 years as Prime Minister of Jamaica and nearly 10 in opposition, Michael Manely's politics have been tempered by experience. Having been responsible for many of the enormous gains of the seventies, including the much improved status of the common man and the expansion of opportunity and political consciousness, Manley has also experienced the 'wilderness years' of opposition. He spent those years reflecting on his political views, and the Epilogue to 'The Politics of Change' sets out how those views have changed to suit Jamaica's new circumstances. Manley discusses imperialism, human rights, education, productivity; his own attitude toward communism, socialism, and the menace of drugs. Above all, as Prime Minister, he points a new way forward for the Jamaican people with his characteristic honesty, passion and commitment.
