The present thesis analyzes the role of homosexuality in Cuba’s society and compares it to that in Jamaica’s. The focus will be on the present-day legal situation and its development, the role of slave trade, as well as religion. The arts, including literature, music, and film, reflect a country’s attitudes toward homosexuality in a vivid way, and their analysis substantially contributes to one’s understanding of the role of homosexuality within a certain society. The attitudes of various religious societies, authors, filmmakers, musicians of various genres, and – obviously – political institutions in both Caribbean countries will be analyzed and compared to each other. The importance and origins of religious communities in either island state are another important aspect which deserves and requires to be researched.
