Brodber’s work is a pioneering contribution to the study of the ordinary people of Jamaica and can be used to stimulate and inform community development. The book will appeal to historians and anthropologists, Africans of the diaspora, and general readers. “This work is the creative expression of the love affair between myself and the village in which was born and raised… Woodside, Pear Tree Grove P.O. combines the academic approach with fictive to produce a world in which the reader can walk, a world he can claim because his story has been used to make a community tale, grounded in orthodox historical facts.” -Erna Brodber
