North America

North America 23 times = 71%

Central America 1 time = 4.3%

South America 0 times = 0%

Africa 7 times = 22%

Caribbean 3 times = 9.4%

Only 12% of the global black population lives in the United States; however, in the Journal of Negro History, the case of black population in North America is discussed 71% of the times, in three issues from the first 8 years. It shows that the African American population in North America has played a significant role in the intellectual uplift of the global Black community.

Summary

Brown, E. E. (1919). Labor Conditions in Jamaica Prior to 1917. The Journal of Negro History, 4(4), 349-360. Retrieved from https://www.jstor.org/stable/2713445?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents

In the article, the author discusses the progress of labor rights in Jamaica since slavery was abolished there in 1838. The overall data does not show much progress in labor conditions even after 78 years off freedom, and the population is nearly the same economically as their forefathers. Laborers are required to work in appalling conditions for a very little daily wage by the community that sees itself to be civilized. The government’s priority was focused on spending resources to import labor from regions where the standard of life was already low, instead of uplifting the conditions of the laborers here, thus demoralizing them further. For this purpose, immigration of cheap labor should be stopped while native laborers should be offered better wages by means of legal coercion or persuasion.
