Answer 1

Life & Debt is a good depiction of the state of the economy. The  Politics of Change by Michael Manley is a great tool also. One thing you may want to look at the current economy and state of affairs and do a focus group to understand the nuances of this developing nation.

The Jamaican gleaner and Observor are key tools as well. There is a radio program Wilmot Perkins offers a great insight on the current affairs.
