====Jamaica under Bustamante====
Bustamante subsequently became the first [[Prime Minister of Jamaica]]. The island country joined the [[Commonwealth of Nations]], an organisation of ex-British territories.<ref>{{cite web|title=Who we are|url=http://thecommonwealth.org/subhomepage/191086/|publisher=Commonwealth Secretariat|access-date=24 August 2013|archive-date=5 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130905020452/http://www.thecommonwealth.org/subhomepage/191086/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Jamaica continues to be a [[Commonwealth realm]], with the British monarch as [[King of Jamaica]] and [[head of state]].

An extensive period of postwar growth transformed Jamaica into an increasingly [[industrial society]]. This pattern was accelerated with the export of bauxite beginning in the 1950s. The economic structure shifted from a dependence on agriculture that in 1950 accounted for 30.8 percent of GDP to an agricultural contribution of 12.9 percent in 1960 and 6.7 percent in 1970. During the same period, the contribution to the GDP of mining increased from less than 1 percent in 1950 to 9.3 percent in 1960 and 12.6 percent in 1970.<ref>{{cite web|title=Leaders since 1962 |url=http://www.jis.gov.jm/special_sections/This%20Is%20Jamaica/leaders.html |publisher=This is Jamaica |access-date=24 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130904154730/http://www.jis.gov.jm/special_sections/This%20Is%20Jamaica/leaders.html |archive-date=4 September 2013 }}</ref>

Bustamante's government also continued the government's repression of Rastafarians. During the [[Coral Gardens incident]], one prominent example of state violence against Rastafarians, where following a violent confrontation between Rastafarians and police forces at a gas station, Bustamante issued the police and military an order to "bring in all Rastas, dead or alive."<ref>Campbell, Horace G.
