Publisher's Synopsis
As the third largest Caribbean island, Jamaica accounts for nearly half of the region's English speaking population. This book takes a close look at a nation born out of 300 years of colonial rule and highlights its contribution to the rest of the world in areas such as music, religion, cuisine, literature, and lifestyle. With the help of more than 300 colour photographs, every aspect of Jamaican life is featured, from the tranquil waters of Montego Bay to the hurly burly of Spanish town.
