Jamaican Nationalist Movement

The Jamaican Nationalist Movement was a political and social effort in the mid-20th century aimed at gaining greater independence and self-determination for Jamaica from British colonial rule. It promoted pride in Jamaican culture, identity, and heritage, advocating for political sovereignty and economic independence. The movement involved leaders and groups working to establish local governance, reduce colonial influence, and foster national unity. Its successes contributed to Jamaica becoming an independent nation in 1962, shaping a sense of pride and autonomy among Jamaicans.
