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.
