"In 1494, Christopher Columbus' exploratory travels on behalf of the King and Queen of Spain brought him to the island of Jamaica. His arrival represented the beginning of the Spanish period in Jamaica's history which ended with the English capture of the island in 1655." "Despite spanning more than a full century and a half, the Spanish history of Jamaica has remained in virtual obscurity. this English translation of Francisco Morales Padron's Spanish Jamaica originally published in Seville, Spain in 1952 as Jamaica Espanola, not only brings to light Spain's contribution to Jamaica's history, but also reveals how this history subsequently affected Spain's colonial fortunes in the Western Hemisphere." "Padron's Spanish Jamaica provides details of the social, economic and political conditions existing in the island during the period of Spanish rule. Of particular importance is the author's analysis of Jamaica's strategic importance to Spain as a gateway to mainland America, and how, by not exploiting this strategic advantage, the Spanish colonial enterprise never achieved its full potential."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The half century of European activity in the Caribbean that followed Columbus’s first voyages brought enormous demographic, economic, and social change to the region as Europeans, Indigenous people, and Africans whom Spaniards imported to provide skilled and unskilled labor came into extended contact for the first time. In Life and Society in the Early Spanish Caribbean, Ida Altman examines the interactions of these diverse groups and individuals and the transformation of the islands of the Greater Antilles (Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Jamaica). She addresses the impact of disease and ongoing conflict; the Spanish monarchy’s efforts to establish a functioning political system and an Iberian church; evangelization of Indians and Blacks; the islands’ economic development; the international character of the Caribbean, which attracted Portuguese, Italian, and German merchants and settlers; and the formation of a highly unequal and coercive but dynamic society. As Altman demonstrates, in the first half of the sixteenth century the Caribbean became the first full-fledged iteration of the Atlantic world in all its complexity.
