FIPA VOICES: PUBLISHED WORKS
Introduction
The Reading Room showcases the works of FIPA advisors, experts, directors, and others aligned with our mission. Here you will find a wide collection of books, articles, and guidebooks that reflect FIPA’s dedication to strengthening families, advancing knowledge, and shaping thoughtful public dialogue. ​These resources are carefully selected to encourage reflection, informed discussion, and practical action. Most of the FIPA publications are free to the public: other publications are, or will be, available on Amazon.

The Farquharson Institute of Public Affairs (FIPA) has a long and respected history of publications, producing over 75 works since its founding. These publications have contributed to public education, national dialogue, and the study of law, governance, leadership, and Jamaican society.
