Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Brian Meeks's novel is a moving requiem for the years of an extraordinary ferment in Jamaican society, when reggae and Rastafarian dreams reached from the ghettoes to the University campus, and idealistic young men and women threw themselves into the struggle to free independent Jamaica from its colonial past. In portraying the the temptations towards tribal revenge that corrupted the vision of change, Meeks's sensitively written and well-structured novel speaks powerfully to the present, when even now, Jamaica's political divisions erupt into killings on the streets.As Mikey Johnson takes a minibus through Kingston on his release from eleven years in jail, what he sees and the persons he meets provoke memories of the years when those who sought to destabilize Jamaican society, fearful of the radical socialist direction it was taking, unleash a virtual civil war. His encounters reveal that few have escaped unscathed from those years: there are the dead (in body and in spirit), the wounded, the turncoats, and those like himself who are condemned to carry the burden of those times. Mikey's quest to discover why he survived when his friend Carl and lover, Rosie, were killed in a shootout with the police draws him to look for Caroline, the other woman he was involved with before his imprisonment. From her he discovers a bitter truth about Jamaica's unwritten code of class and its role in his survival.One of the encounters is, we learn in a postscript to the novel, with Rohan, Rosie's brother. Rohan has suffered this loss deeply, but has survived to move forward, while Mikey, with the stigma of his imprisonment, is trapped in the past. It is Rohan who tells Mikey's story, a revelation that casts a reflexive light on the relationship between the actual writer and his subject.Brian Meeks was born in Montreal, Canada of West Indian parents and grew up in Kingston, Jamaica. He has taught political science at the University of the West Indies, Mona for many years.

Paint the Town Red (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Peepal Tree Press Ltd, Yorkshire, 2003
ISBN 10: 1900715740 ISBN 13: 9781900715744
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There have been one or two popular novels that deal with the descent of Jamaica into political warfare in the late 70s and 80s, but Brian Meeks' novel has both the authentic insights of someone who was as an activist student leader at the centre of the events looked back on, and theshaping of art rather than sensation. Brian Meeks' novel is a moving requiem for the years when an extraordinary ferment in Jamaican society, when reggae and Rastafarian dreams reached from the ghettoes to the University campus, and idealistic young men and women threw themselves into the struggle to free independent Jamaica from its colonial past. In portraying the violent death of those hopes and the different ways in which the participants try to repair their lives, Meeks' sensitively written and well-structured novel speaks powerfully to the present, when even now, Jamaica's political divisions erupt into killings on the streets. The novel begins with the release from jail after eleven years of a young Rastafarian who was involved in the political violence that erupted when forces hostile to the radical socialist currents within the 1972 Manley administration sought to destabilize Jamaican society.As Mikey takes a minibus through Kingston, his story is told as a series of carefully crafted flashbacks. A series of encounters and the memories they provoke reveal that few have escaped unscathed from those years: there are the dead, the imprisoned, the maddened, the turncoats, and those like Mikey who carry the burden of those times. Mikey is released from prison after an 11 year sentence for his involvement in the political violence which erupted in Jamaica in 1972. His story is told as a series of flashbacks which reveal that few have escaped unscathed from that year.

The Coup Clock Clicks
Language: English
Published by Peepal Tree Press Ltd, GB, 2018
ISBN 10: 1845234251 ISBN 13: 9781845234256
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. The poems in The Coup Clock Clicks were written between 1971 and 1988, reflecting the work of the then young political activist, poems challenging indifference, and mainly concerned to understand and, if possible, ameliorate the situation of others. It is also a personal memoir, shaped as autobiography. In reggae-conscious free verse in Jamaican patwa, these poems are fierce, sometimes witty jeremiads against economic and socio-cultural division, poverty, violence, and thwarted lives. The collection is suffused with references to music - mainly Jamaican popular music, heard everywhere, but displaying Meeks' sharply observant eye, as in his poem about a Marley concert where the detailed fashion notes vividly point to the actual separation of classes in Jamaica.The later poems reflect on the collapse of 1970s' hopes of decolonisation after the widespread defeat of the left through self-inflicted injuries and the new world order of resurgent American power under Ronald Reagan.As Mervyn Morris notes in his introduction, The Coup Clock Clicks is an important contribution to Caribbean poetry. He characterises Meeks as "a resourceful poet" producing "nicely crafted poems. There is plenty of grief in this collection. But resilience also, and philosophical questioning.".
