Studies the way a post-colonial society reconstructs its history and grapples with its past, specifically in Port Royal, a Jamaican village with a dramatic history of pirates, naval admirals, and earthquakes. This book shows how the plans for Port Royal's heritage tourism development represent a chronological record of historical revisionism.

Planning the Past studies the way a post-colonial society reconstructs its national history and grapples with its colonial past, specifically in Port Royal, a Jamaican village with a dramatic history of pirates, naval admirals, and earthquakes. Anita M. Waters argues that the plans for Port Royal''s heritage tourism development represent a chronological record of historical revisionism, and the fact that none of the plans has been realized reflects post-colonial social processes and national ambivalence about piratical and naval history. This interdisciplinary study will be valuable reading for students of historiography, piracy, Caribbean history, Caribbean politics, and heritage tourism.
