“Tea Meetings” became a huge community affair in rural Jamaica, designed to entertain as well as to raise funds for a variety of collective causes. It provides us with one avenue through which to examine cultural continuities and the convergence of tradition and modernity. This event coincides with, and pays homage to, a very special a watershed moment in Jamaica’s political development, the start of the Morant Bay Rebellion on October 11, 1865.
There is nothing like a Jamaican “Tea Meeting”. You might be forgiven for thinking it resembles a tea party of the English variety.
