Product Description
Synopsis
This book is about Jamaican proverbial philosophy and its relationship to Jamaican culture, with both contemporary and historical connections explored. There are over 90,000 words of Jamaican proverbs and sayings, including explanations, discussions, a glossary of Jamaican terms, an alphabetical arrangement, and an index. This is a beautifully designed book with supporting illustrations and photographs. Jamaican speech is often proverbial, without an understanding of Jamaican proverbs you cannot fully understand Jamaica's influential language and culture. This publication is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophy, language, and popular culture of Jamaica and the Caribbean.
