Is dem rule the world you know, but in post-Worldwar Jamaica, Black racial discontents and the desire for national independence are threatening the old colonial order. But for Ramsay, the first stage of his growth is a movement away from his people to the privileges of study at Oxford University, where there is immersion in European literary culture and Marxism. On his return to Jamaica, Ramsay becomes actively involved in radical nationalist politics, and begins his second journey, away from his middle-class origins and back to an involvement and true appreciation of the Jamaican people.On its original publication in 1960, The Last Enchantment was remarked on for its penetrating exploration of Jamaican racial politics.
