The essays in this collection are a tribute to Stuart Hall, and to the outstanding
contribution he has made to contemporary cultural, social and political thought.
The central figure in the development of Cultural Studies, Hall's writing has
influenced a whole generation of intellectuals. Some essays reflect and comment
on Hall's contribution; others continue to develop some of his key themes. But
most share a focus on reconnecting his work with Jamaica - his birthplace - and
the wider Caribbean.
Brian Meeks is Professor of Social and Political
Change at the University of the West Indies, Mona.
