Описание: Originally published in 1966, Beryl Loftman Bailey`s book was one of the first on the Jamaican Creole language, its origins and its influence on the teaching of English in Jamaica. She challenged a notion prevalent throughout English teachers in Caribbean at the time that Creole was a `dialect` not a language and therefore need not be considered in teaching.

Описание: Everyone who knows anything about cats, knows they are mysterious, and none more so than Harry the Wonder Cat. Harry was granted supernatural powers after initially being summoned by the Cat King 200 years ago. One of those powers is that he will live forever as part of his responsibility to care for the first-born Johnson in every generation.

Harry has been keeping close tabs on his current charge, Nikki Johnson, since she became the latest in the line of Johnsons under his care. This transition occurred only months before, following the 2019 Christmastime murder of her beloved Aunt Lynn in an attempt to steal the Pink Diamond she was believed to own. Thankfully, Harry and his cat gang were able to work together to solve the mystery, which was no small feat.

In Harry the Wonder Cat: The Jamaican Mission, Harry is back in action after receiving another special assignment from the Cat King. He has been tasked with finding out who killed Marianne Johnson in 1929. At that time, Marianne had just gotten married in Jamaica to Nikki's Great Uncle Frank, Harry's then charge in the line of the Johnson family.

Following Marianne's death on their honeymoon, Frank spent the rest of his life trying to solve the mystery as to who killed her. Now he is unable to be at rest and needs Harry's help, since he has the limitations brought on by being a ghost. To accomplish this mission, Harry needs to go back to the Hailey House B&B where Marianne died.

Using his powers, and the cunning of his cat gang, he convinces Nikki, and her friend and housemate Heather, to vacation in Jamaica. Once there, Harry rounds up some Jamaican cats-and even a dog gets involved-to help him solve the mystery. The leader of the beach cat gang is a beautiful petite cat named Luna, who may be the solution to more than one mystery.

Описание:

Jamaica Johnson was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She watched her parents transition from being big time hustlers in the mean streets of Baltimore to cleaning up their dirty money and becoming wealthy and well-respected entrepreneurs. Wanting change for their children, Jamaica's parents tried their best to instill a work ethic into their daughter, but the damage was already done. Jamaica's early exposure to the fast life inspired her to do it B.I.G without ever obtaining a J.O.B.

Now, having to face adulthood sooner than she expected, Jamaica is determined to make it on her own without the help of her parents. However, with her champagne taste and beer budget, she desperately needs to find a way to flip her savings before the money runs out. Jamaica, alongside two friends, link up to acquire fast money. The three women come up with a brilliant business scheme that is sure to satisfy everyone's hunger for riches -- a very risky yet profitable business called "Las Chicas." With their motto, "Home away from Home," these girls rope in some other go-getters to become household names in the streets of Baltimore.

But the money and fortune that brings power, exposes envy and greed. Lifelong friendships and relationships are put to the test. Valuable life lessons are learned, but does anyone wipe the dollar signs away from their eyes in time to see the truth?

Jamaican Me Go Crazy is fast-paced drama at its best that will keep you turning the pages until the very shocking end.

Описание: Faced with the challenges that inevitably occur in small markets, feature film production in Jamaica has been sporadic and uneven, yet local filmmakers have succeeded in creating a small but exciting body of work that is receiving increasing attention. Organized as a series of discussions on a selection of the more well-known Jamaican films, this study employs close readings of these texts to reveal their complexity, sophistication and artistry. The focus on the politics of identity and representation, examined through the lens of place and nation, opens up a conversation on how these films have contributed to, and participate in, the discourse on Jamaican identity. Place is understood as both constituting and reflecting identity, and is explored within the context of the films' representation of the postcolonial city, the dancehall, the north coast hotel and the great house. The concern with nation is revealed as a persistent and underlying focus that more often than not, directs our attention to the grievous gap between rich and poor in Jamaican society. These films' often-criticized attention to marginalized communities plagued by problems of crime and violence can be understood, Moseley-Wood argues, as an expression of the postcolonial struggle to redefine place in ways that contest hegemonic discourses that define Jamaica as hedonistic paradise as well as challenge the unifying and homogenizing myths and narratives of nation.
