Laid back, sun-drenched tropical paradise, or hotbed of drug-related crime and
violence? Neither stereotype is true. Jamaica suffers from a PR problem,
created largely by tabloid headlines written thousands of miles away. The
reality is more complex and more fascinating. Despite its small size, Jamaica
punches above its weight. It's footprints in sport and music are, like its
people, larger than life. It is one of the few countries to have its own
soundtrack- mento, ska, and reggae are popular around the world. The
University of the West Indies campus at Mona is a regional source of
excellence. Jamaicans have a fire that has been hard to douse. It was burning
when their forefathers arrived on slave ships, barely alive after the middle
passage, and it was there when they fought the British to a standstill in the
Maroon Wars. In the English-speaking Caribbean they have a reputation for
being brash, but the Jamaicans have a warmth that is unmatched. They are
unafraid to talk to strangers, they'll laugh at nearly anything, they'll
discuss and debate with passion, and they'll let you know it straight. Despite
real economic and social problems, this beautiful and invigorating country
regularly ranks among the top five happiest nations in the world in the annual
Happy Planet Index. Culture Smart! Jamaica takes you beyond the clichés with a
fresh, uniquely well-informed look at of one of the most intriguing countries
in the region.
