Caribbean Comment is the work of Dennis Jones. I am an economist with an international financial institution, currently taking a period of leave without pay. I was born in Jamaica, but migrated to England as a young boy in the early 1960s, and spent most of the time up until my mid-30s in England. I then moved to Washington, DC in the 1990s. I have travelled extensively and worked in French-speaking west Africa during 2003-6, seeing at first hand the lowest levels of third world life.
I am new to blogging and am using it as a way of helping to organize some thoughts around a range of issues that affect the Caribbean, and at the same time sharing those thoughts with those who visit this blog.

Enjoyed reading your commentary on the variety of issues affecting the Caribbean. The UNODC “Crime, Violence, and Development: Trends, Costs, and Policy Options in the Caribbean,” seems to be the most visible in the media and blogging arenas. It is a large piece of the puzzle identifying the problems facing the Caribbean. Other pieces of the puzzle are the stories, comments, and thoughts expressed by the people who live in the Caribbean and those who visit. I look forward to your continued blogging efforts.
