Jamaica is a beautiful country but what really makes it unique is its people. They are normally described as happy and easy going despite all that may be happening around them. Some say that it is the sun, while others say it is their resilient nature. Whatever it may be, Jamaicans take great pride in whatever it is that they do. They have no issue with doing what they need to do to keep their heads above water.
The culture is vast and has produced some of the most talented people in the world that I do not need to mention because you already know of them.
The book Jamaican Patois: Story Come To Bump ,takes on a very comedic approach in looking at the life of the typical Jamaican. It takes you from childhood to adulthood and all that happens along the way. From the "duppy" stories, Sunday dinners, Christmas time, to going to the market, taking the bus and much more. It is your complete guide to being Jamaican.
The book also explores the rich language spoken by many locals and offers a guide/dictionary in helping you to better understand what you are hearing. Of course, it takes a look at the food and popular Dancehall cultural slangs/sayings. It also dispels a lot of stereotypes about Jamaica and Jamaican people. If you want to know how to identify a Jamaican anywhere in the world, this book also tells you how.
There is something mystical about Jamaica. The sun, sea and lush flora and fauna are apart of it but it is the people who makes it come alive.
