The Three Times An Anti-Chinese Riot Took Place In Jamaica

Academic scholarship on the 1918 anti-Chinese riots is limited. As such, a bulk of the research of this singular event, came from Howard Johnson, academic paper, “The Anti-Chinese Riots of 1918 in Jamaica”, published in the Caribbean Quarterly in 1982.  In 1918, the first of 3 Anti-Chinese riots took place in Jamaica.

Then, just a few years after Jamaica’s independence, the trifecta occurred in 1965.
