Michael Norman Manley ON OCC (ten Dec 1924 – 6 March 1997) was a Jamaican politician who served equally the quaternary Prime Minister of Jamaica from 1972 to 1980 and from 1989 to 1992. Manley championed a autonomous socialist program,^[one] and has been described equally a populist. According to opinion polls, he remains one of Jamaica's most popular prime ministers.^[2]

Early on life [edit]

Michael Manley was the second son of premier Norman Washington Manley and artist Edna Manley. He attended the Antigua State College and so served in the Purple Canadian Air Force during Earth War II. In 1945, he enrolled at the London School of Economic science.^[iii] At the LSE, he was influenced by Fabian socialism and the writings of Harold Laski.^[3] He graduated in 1949, and returned to Jamaica to serve as an editor and columnist for the newspaper Public Stance. At almost the same time, he became involved in the trade union move, condign a negotiator for the National Workers Union. In August 1953, he became a full-time official of that spousal relationship.^[four]

Entry into politics [edit]

When his male parent was elected premier of Jamaica in 1955, Manley resisted inbound politics, non wanting to be seen every bit capitalizing on his family unit name. However, in 1962, he accepted an appointment to the Senate of the Parliament of Jamaica. He won election to the Jamaican Firm of Representatives for the Central Kingston constituency in 1967.^{[5] [vi]}

After his begetter'due south retirement in 1969, Manley was elected leader of the People's National Political party, defeating Vivian Blake.^[7] He then served every bit leader of the Opposition, until his party won in the full general elections of 1972.^[4]

Domestic reforms [edit]

In the 1972 Jamaican general election, Manley defeated the unpopular incumbent Prime Minister, Hugh Shearer of the Jamaica Labour Party, every bit his People's National Political party swept to a landslide victory with 37 of 53 seats.^[six]

He instituted a serial of socio-economic reforms that produced mixed results. Although he was a Jamaican from an elite family, Manley's successful trade spousal relationship background helped him to maintain a shut relationship with the country'south poor majority, and he was a dynamic, popular leader.^[8] Unlike his father, who had a reputation for being formal and businesslike, the younger Manley moved easily among people of all strata and made Parliament accessible to the people by abolishing the requirement for men to wear jackets and ties to its sittings. In this regard he started a style revolution, oftentimes preferring the Kariba suit, a blazon of formal bush-jacket accommodate with trousers and worn without a shirt and tie.^[6]

Under Manley, Jamaica established a minimum wage for all workers, including domestic workers.^[9] In 1974, the PNP under Manley adopted a political philosophy of Democratic Socialism.

In 1974, Manley proposed gratuitous education from primary school to university. The introduction of universally free secondary education was a major step in removing the institutional barriers to individual sector and preferred regime jobs that required secondary diplomas.^[10] The PNP authorities in 1974 also formed the Jamaica Movement for the Advancement of Literacy (JAMAL), which administered developed education programs with the goal of involving 100,000 adults a year.^[9]

Land reform expanded nether his administration. Historically, land tenure in Jamaica has been rather caitiff. Project State Lease (introduced in 1973), attempted an integrated rural development arroyo, providing tens of thousands of small farmers with land, technical communication, inputs such every bit fertilizers, and access to credit.^[11] An estimated 14 percent of idle land was redistributed through this plan, much of which had been abandoned during the post-state of war urban migration or purchased past big bauxite companies.^{[ commendation needed ]}

The minimum voting age was lowered to 18 years, while equal pay for women was introduced.^[12] Motherhood leave was too introduced, while the government outlawed the stigma of illegitimacy. The Masters and Servants Act was abolished, and a Labour Relations and Industrial Disputes Human activity provided workers and their trade unions with enhanced rights. The National Housing Trust was established, providing "the means for most employed people to own their ain homes," and profoundly stimulated housing construction, with more than forty,000 houses built between 1974 and 1980.^[12]

Subsidised meals, transportation and uniforms for schoolchildren from disadvantaged backgrounds were introduced,^[13] together with free education at main, secondary, and tertiary levels.^[13] Special employment programmes were besides launched,^[14] together with programmes designed to combat illiteracy.^[xiv] Increases in pensions and poor relief were carried out,^[15] along with a reform of local government taxation, an increase in youth preparation,^[sixteen] an expansion of mean solar day care centres.^[17] and an upgrading of hospitals.^[17]

A worker'south participation programme was introduced,^[eighteen] together with a new mental wellness law^[16] and the family court.^[xvi] Gratis health intendance for all Jamaicans was introduced, while health clinics and a paramedical system in rural areas were established. Various clinics were too prepare to facilitate admission to medical drugs. Spending on education was significantly increased, while the number of doctors and dentists in the land rose.^[17] Project Lend Charter, an agronomical program designed to provide rural labourers and smallholders with more land through tenancy, was introduced, together with a National Youth Service Programme for loftier school graduates to teach in schools, vocational training, and the literacy program, comprehensive rent and toll controls, protection for workers confronting unfair dismissal, subsidies (in 1973) on bones food items,^[18] and the automated recognition of unions in the workplace.^[15]

Manley was the showtime Jamaican prime minister to support Jamaican republicanism (the replacement of the constitutional monarchy with a republic). In 1975, his government established a commission into constitutional reform, which recommended that Jamaica become a democracy. In July 1977, later on a march to commemorate the Morant Bay Rebellion, Manley announced that Jamaica would become a commonwealth by 1981. This did not occur, still.^[19]

Diplomacy [edit]

Manley developed close friendships with several foreign leaders, foremost of whom were Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, Olof Palme of Sweden, Pierre Trudeau of Canada and Fidel Castro of Cuba.^[20] With Cuba just 145 km (90 mi) north of Jamaica, he strengthened diplomatic relations between the ii isle nations, much to the dismay of U.s.a. policymakers.

Manley expressed support for anti-colonial African movements such as the MPLA during the Angolan Civil War, where the MPLA successfully fought off, with Cuban military assistance, the rival UNITA move, which was backed by apartheid South Africa and the Us. The US labelled Jamaican back up for the MPLA every bit "hostile", and the US government was critical of the Manley authorities for their close relationship with Fidel Castro's Cuba. When Henry Kissinger visited Jamaica in 1975, he warned Manley confronting supporting the MPLA and Republic of cuba. More broadly there was a deterioration of relations between the United states and Jamaica during Manley'southward tenure kickoff with the Nixon administration and continuing on with the Ford Administration due to allegations of CIA activities on the isle. Attempts at an improvement of relations were made during the Carter Administration.

In 1977, Manley visited President Jimmy Carter at the White House to remedy the situation. Details of the meeting, however, were never disclosed.^{[ citation needed ]}

In a spoken language given at the 1979 coming together of the Not-Aligned Movement, Manley strongly pressed for the development of what was chosen a natural alliance between the Non-Aligned motion and the Soviet Spousal relationship to battle imperialism: "All anti-imperialists know that the residuum of forces in the world shifted irrevocably in 1917 when there was a movement and a human in the Oct Revolution, and Lenin was the human being."^[21] Despite some international opposition, Manley deepened and strengthened Jamaica'due south ties with Cuba.^[9]

In diplomatic affairs, Manley believed in respecting the different systems of government of other countries and non interfering in their internal affairs.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Violence [edit]

Manley was Prime Minister when Jamaica experienced a significant escalation of its political civilisation of violence. Supporters of his opponent Edward Seaga and the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and Manley's People's National Political party (PNP) engaged in a bloody struggle which began earlier the 1976 election and ended when Seaga was installed as Prime Government minister in 1980. While the violent political culture was not invented past Seaga or Manley, and had its roots in conflicts between the parties from as early as the commencement of the two-political party organisation in the 1940s, political violence reached unprecedented levels in the 1970s. Indeed, the two elections accompanied by the greatest violence were those (1976 and 1980) in which Seaga was trying to unseat Manley.^{[22] [23]}

In response to a wave of killings in 1974, Manley oversaw the passage of the Gun Court Deed and the Suppression of Criminal offense Human activity, giving the police and the regular army new powers to seal off and disarm high-violence neighborhoods. The Gun Court imposed a mandatory sentence of indefinite imprisonment with hard labour for all firearms offences, and ordinarily tried cases in camera, without a jury. Manley declared that "In that location is no place in this society for the gun, now or ever."^[24]

Violence flared in January 1976 in anticipation of elections. A state of emergency was declared by Manley'due south party the PNP in June and 500 people, including some prominent members of the JLP, were accused of trying to overthrow the government and were detained, without charges, in the South Camp Prison at the Up-Park Campsite war machine headquarters.^[25] Elections were held on 15 December in the 1976 Jamaican general election, while the state of emergency was however in consequence. The PNP was returned to office, winning 47 seats to the JLP'south xiii. The turnout was a very high 85 percent.^[26]

The state of emergency continued into the next year. Extraordinary powers granted the police force by the Suppression of Law-breaking Act of 1974 continued to the end of the 1990s.^[27]

Violence continued to blight political life in the 1970s. Gangs armed by both parties fought for control of urban constituencies. In the ballot year of 1980 over 800 Jamaicans were killed.^[28] Jamaicans were especially shocked by the violence at that time.

In the 1980 Jamaican general ballot, Seaga's JLP won 51 of the sixty seats, and he became Prime Minister.^[26]

Opposition [edit]

As Leader of the Opposition Manley became an outspoken critic of the new conservative administration. He strongly opposed intervention in Grenada after Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was overthrown and executed. Immediately after committing Jamaican troops to Grenada in 1983, Seaga called a snap ballot – two years early – on the pretext that Dr Paul Robertson, General Secretary of the PNP, had called for his resignation. Manley, who may have been taken by surprise past the maneuver, led his political party in a boycott of the elections, then the Jamaica Labour Political party won all seats in parliament against only marginal opposition in six of the sixty balloter constituencies.^[6]

During his period of opposition in the 1980s, Manley, a compelling speaker,^{[ stance ]} travelled extensively, speaking to audiences around the world. He taught a graduate seminar and gave a series of public lectures at Columbia University in New York.^{[ commendation needed ]}

In 1986, Manley travelled to Britain and visited Birmingham. He attended a number of venues including the Afro Caribbean area Resource Center in Winson Dark-green and Digbeth Civic Hall. The mainly black audiences turned out en masse to hear Manley speak.^{[ citation needed ]}

Seaga's failure to deliver on his promises to the US and foreign investors, besides as complaints of governmental incompetence in the wake Hurricane Gilbert's devastation in 1988, contributed to his defeat in the 1989 elections. The PNP won 45 seats to the JLP's 15.^[26]

Re-ballot [edit]

Past 1989, some right-wing critics had begun to assert that Manley had softened his socialist rhetoric, explicitly advocating a function for private enterprise.^[9] Later the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he also supposedly ceased his support for a variety of international causes. In the ballot of that year he campaigned on what appeared to be a more than moderate platform.^{[ opinion ]} Seaga's Regime had fallen out of favour – both with the electorate and the United states of america – and the PNP was elected. He was sworn in as a Fellow member of the Privy Council of the Britain in 1989.^{[ citation needed ]}

Manley's second term focused on liberalizing Jamaica'due south economy, with the pursuit of a neoliberal programme that stood in marked contrast to the more social democratic economic policies pursued by Manley's first regime. Various measures were, however, undertaken to cushion the negative effects of austerity and structural adjustment. A Social Support Plan was introduced to provide welfare aid for poor Jamaicans. In addition, the program focused on creating direct employment, training, and credit for much of the population.^[18]

The government too announced a 50% increment in the corporeality of nutritional help for the most vulnerable groups (including pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children). A small number of community councils were also created. In addition, a limited land reform programme was carried out that leased and sold land to pocket-size farmers, and land plots were granted to hundreds of farmers. The regime had an beauteous record in housing provision, while measures were too taken to protect consumers from illegal and unfair business organization practices.^[18]

In 1992, citing wellness reasons, Manley stepped down as Prime Minister and PNP leader.^{[9] [29]} His former Deputy Prime Minister, P. J. Patterson, causeless both offices.^[thirty]

Family [edit]

Manley was married v times. In 1946, he married Jacqueline Kamellard, but the matrimony was dissolved in 1951. In 1955 he married Thelma Verity the adopted girl of Sir Philip Sherlock OM and his wife Grace Verity; in 1960, this matrimony was also dissolved. In 1966, Manley married Barbara Lewars (died in 1968); in 1972, he married Beverley Anderson, merely the union was dissolved in 1990. Beverley wrote The Manley Memoirs in June 2008.^[31] Michael Manley's concluding marriage was to Glynne Ewart in 1992.^[32]

Manley had five children from his five marriages: Rachel Manley, Joseph Manley, Sarah Manley, Natasha Manley, and David Manley.^[6]

Retirement and death [edit]

Manley wrote 7 books, including the award-winning A History of West Indies Cricket, in which he discussed the links between cricket and West Indian nationalism.^[33] The other books he wrote include The Politics of Alter (1974), A Voice in the Workplace (1975), The Search for Solutions, The Poverty of Nations, Up the Down Escalator, and Jamaica: Struggle in the Periphery.^[34]

On six March 1997, Michael Manley died of prostate cancer, the aforementioned twenty-four hours equally another Caribbean politician, Cheddi Jagan of Guyana.^{[29] [35]} He is interred at the National Heroes Park, where his father Norman Manley is also interred.^{[29] [36]} Photographer Maria LaYacona'south portrait of Manley appears on the Jamaican $1,000 annotation.^[37]
