      Focusing on significant events from 2000 to early 2021, the book offers a Jamaican perspective on both local and global occurrences. It discusses the deregulation of telecommunications, the rise of social media, and China's growing influence. Key topics include Barack Obama's historic election, the rise of far-right politics, issues of homophobia and corruption, and Jamaica's prominence in sprinting. The COVID-19 pandemic's socio-economic impact and the 2020 elections in Jamaica and the U.S. are also examined, along with reflections on the future.
