ABSTRACT
Students of Third World societies are substantially agreed that the various models of dependency that emerged in the 1960s have contributed to a deeper understanding of their condition of underdevelopment, Dependency is not only an economic condition; it is also political and intellectual in nature. Spanish immigrant laborers first brought radical ideas to Cuba. These syndico-anarchists continued to have close ties with their Spanish homeland and the movements there. Especially important in the tobacco industry, their ideas spread to Key West and Tampa as the industry migrated to those mainland centers. The Jamaican case illustrates the various themes of ideological dependency and the tenacity of the race question. Contrary to the effects of the late 1930s labor unrest in Trinidad, in Jamaica they had a significant result: the emergence of a true, charismatic trade unionist called Alexander Bustamante and of his half cousin, a politically oriented intellectual lawyer called Norman Manley.
