Abstract
This personal reflection from a TWP participant raises questions about
Jamaica's approach to constitutional reform and its relationship to historical and archival stories and names, many of which are reflected in place and street names. Can meaningful constitutional reform be achieved without addressing the enduring legacy of oppression embedded in the names of streets, civil parishes, and towns, he asks? He argues that National Heritage Week and constitutional reform can only be truly transformative if accompanied by a deliberate effort to reassess the historical narratives embedded in the names of places and streets and to educate Jamaicans about their origins.
