Kay Anderson's "Ancestral Whisperings", an examination of African traditions and culture which exist in Jamaican art, was launched in a lively and enlightening presentation at the Liguanea Club recently. Anderson, an educator, artist and published poet, lectured on the theme locally and internationally before its passage to publication.

In the book, Anderson reiterates the roots of Jamaican culture and covers the historical, geographic, and cultural factors together with the social and religious relationships carried over from African society and the extent to which they are retained in Jamaican art.
