The Banning of Dr. Clive Y. Thomas By The Jamaican Government

Coming off the heels of the banning of Guyanese historian Dr. Walter Rodney, been banned by the Jamaican government in 1968, almost ten months later, the Hugh Shearer led - Jamaican government would announce the banning one of the most renowned Caribbean economist, Dr. Clive. Y. Thomas. At the time, Dr. CY Thomas, was an economist professor at the University of the West Indies campus in Mona, Jamaica. The banning of the Guyanese professor would result in outcry across the region for the Jamaican government to announce the reason for the ban, as none was given; and for Caribbean governments to stop the act of undermining professors at the regional institutions in the wake of two professors been banned by the Jamaican government in less than a year.
