history

Note: Willie Lynch was a West Indian Slaver owner, who experimented on his slaves in the caribbean. He was known for cruelty and extracting obedience from his enslaved.

Jamaicans are everywhere; the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) believes the figure may be the Jamaican servant of an officer on the government side in the battle, which took place close to Inverness in 1746.

I have been trying to come to grips with what really defines the Jamaican culture. Obviously the answers will depend on how much exposure one has to the culture or perhaps whether or not you are a Jamaican, where were you born or where do you live.

So is it the food or the music or simply just living or breathing the Jamaican “air”. I decided to ask a few of my Jamaican friends both in Jamaica and abroad and I was surprise at the answers they gave. These answers dispel the notion that I have harboured all these years!
