About Kerry-Ann

Hi, I’m Kerry-Ann Morris, an all-around proud Jamaican wid a whole heap a passion ’bout history, Jamaican history in particular. When I can, I indulge my historian’s curiousity into learning and unearthing as much as I can about aspects of Jamaica’s past outside of my academic/career interests.

No other subject intrigues me more than the history of my country and people.

I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History from the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona campus, and a Master of Science (MSc.) in Disasters, Adaptation ad Development from King’s College London (KCL). My specialisation is natural disasters from both the historical and disaster management perspectives.

Jamaican Echoes is therefore an extension of my love of all things Jamaican from the historical point of view.

Our past echoes all around us in everything we do and say. Come, walk wid mi, as I trace the sources of these echoes in Jamaica’s history in my blog, Jamaican Echoes.

WALK GOOD!!!

  2. Hi Kerry-Ann!

    I would love to ask you a few questions about Jamaica. I am a television producer in New York, and I’m working on a new show about different cultures and religions. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give me.

    If you’re interested at all, you can reach me at the email address I left behind.

    Thanks very much Kerry-Ann! Keep up the great site!

  6. Hi, Kerry Ann,
    I’m a mystery writer (English living in the US) and the book I’m working on at present includes considerable Jamaican history. I’ve already learned a lot, particularly about the earthquake/fire in 1907, from your blog. Thank you!
