Approximately 92% of Jamaica's population identifies as Black, reflecting the country's African heritage. With a total population of around 2.9 million people, this means that roughly 2.7 million people in Jamaica are of Black descent. The population is a result of the historical legacy of the transatlantic slave trade and subsequent cultural developments.

How did black people get in Jamaica?

Black people arrived in Jamaica primarily through the transatlantic slave trade, which began in the 16th century. Enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to the island to work on plantations, particularly in the sugar industry, after the indigenous Taíno population was devastated by disease and colonization. Following the abolition of slavery in the 19th century, many freed people continued to live and contribute to Jamaican society, shaping its cultural identity.
