Jamaica’s 1970s black self-recognition outstripped any political revolution

Evidence

You know that story, but I do not know if you know the degree to which that story is true of other parts of the Americas. It happened in Jamaica in the 1970s. In the 1970s, for the first time, black people recognized themselves as black. It was the most profound cultural revolution in the Caribbean, much greater than any political revolution they have ever had. That cultural revolution in Jamaica has never been matched by anything as far-reaching as the politics. The politics has never caught up with it. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 235

Categorization

• XREF: The inversion — cultural revolution preceding and outstripping political revolution — complicates the reader’s Gramsci/hegemony scaffold where politics usually leads.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: what concrete political events in 1970s Jamaica lagged behind this cultural shift — is Hall referring to Manley’s democratic socialism, or Rastafari’s uptake?
