Earl Moxam, OD, with his book, Vantage Point Jamaica: A Reporter’s Chronicle.

Vantage Point Jamaica: A Reporter’s Chronicle, the book by Earl Moxam, OD, is now available in hardcover!

Earl hails from Treasure Beach and was a student on the Hill, attending Munro College, before embarking on his distinguished career. Munro’s motto, In Arce Sitam Quis Occultabit, says it well: a city set upon a hill cannot be hid.

Drawing on three decades as a working journalist, Earl takes readers behind the headlines of some of the biggest moments in modern Jamaica, and reaches further back to the events and movements that still shape the country today.

Earl also infuses his narrative with memories from his growing-up years in that now famous sun-swept village on the island’s rugged south coast.
