Jamaican Americans  

Definition

  • Settled primarily along the East Coast, Jamaican Americans constitute a significant segment of the immigrant Black population and have migrated to the United States for more than 100 years. This ongoing migration adds dynamism to the community, constantly circulating culture between the former country and the Caribbean.
