27. Jamaica Gleaner - Red Carpet For 'barefoot Culture' - Sunday | June 9, 2002
    Despite its size, jamaica's culture has proven to be a force with which to reckon.

    Extractions: Red carpet for 'barefoot culture' Tanya Batson, Staff Reporter MANY actually believe that Jamaica has been attractive to visitors because of some intrinsic mystique. However, to be simply practical about it, Jamaica is evidently a beautiful country which has a lot to offer. According to lonelyplanet.com, this attraction to the island began in the mid 20th century: 'Ever since Errol Flynn cavorted here (Jamaica) with his Hollywood pals in the 1930s and '40s, travellers have regarded Jamaica as one of the most alluring of the Caribbean islands. Its beaches, mountains and carnal red sunsets regularly appear in the world's tourist brochures and, unlike other nearby islands, it democratically caters to all comers: you can choose a private villa with your own private beach; laugh your vacation away at a party-hearty resort; throw yourself into the thick of the island's life; or concentrate on experiencing the three Rs: reggae, reefers and rum! Of course, the above quote ignores the fact that Jamaica had long been attractive to thieves, cut-throats and pirates. What it also indicates is that Jamaica has a lot more to offer than mere sea and sand. It has a culture that is worth seeing and experiencing. In its introduction to the history of Jamaica, the site also includes the following information:

Jamaica Time and Date Jamaica Culture Back to Top Family life is central to most Jamaicans, although formal marriages are less prevalent there than in most other countries. It is common for three generations to share a home. Many women earn wages, particularly in households where men are absent, and grandmothers normally take charge of preschool children. Wealthier Jamaican families usually employ at least one domestic helper. The position of Jamaica as a dependency of Britain for more than 300 years is reflected in both language and customs, which are combined with African influences. Reggae, a distinctively syncopated style of Jamaican music, much of it highly political, was popularized in the 20th century by Bob Marley and others. It was a pervasive influence on rock music in the 1980s, especially in Britain. The main meal is almost always in the evening, because most people do not have time to prepare a midday meal and children normally eat at school. Some families eat together, but television has increasingly replaced conversation at the dinner table. The exception to this rule is Sunday, when tradition dictates that even poor families enjoy a large and sociable brunch or lunch, usually including chicken, fish, yams, fried plantains, and the ubiquitous rice and peas.

39. The Culture Of Jamaica

    http://www.globalvolunteers.org/1main/jamaica/jamaicaculture.htm
    
    Extractions: The culture of Jamaica has been deeply influenced by the disparate societies that at various times colonized the island. Today, Jamaica's people blend traditions from African, European, Arabic, East Indian, Chinese, and East Mediterranean descent. The indigenous Arawak never rooted their culture in Jamaica, because they were largely wiped out by disease introduced by Spanish settlers. Britain's 300-year occupation is reflected in both language and customs of Jamaica.Edna Manley, wife of Norman Manley, Jamaica's first prime minister, was instrumental in bringing Jamaican art to the world's attention. From the 1920s until her death in 1987, Manley worked tirelessly to promote Jamaican music, sculpture, dance and other art forms. Jamaican Music on the World Scene It is perhaps reggae that first comes to mind when people think of Jamaica. Reggae, a distinctively syncopated style of Jamaican music, much of it highly political, is a music form that emerged from traditional indigenous Jamaican music with African and Black American roots, and was popularized in the 20th century by Bob Marley and others. It was a pervasive influence on rock music in the 1980s, especially in Britain. For his cultural contributions, Marley received Jamaica's third highest national honor the Order of Merit and was posthumously enshrined in the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the late 1990s.

40. Jamaica Volunteer Program - Work On Blue Mountain Village Projects
    jamaica's popular tourism image is of vast sandy beaches and allinclusive small villagesrepresent a more realistic view of jamaican culture and community life  
    http://www.globalvolunteers.org/1main/jamaica/volunteer_in_jamaica.htm
    
    Extractions: Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm). Jamaica's popular tourism image is of vast sandy beaches and all-inclusive hotels. But the island's small villages represent a more realistic view of Jamaican culture and community life. These are economically poor, isolated communities where people struggle to survive. As English-speaking descendants of slaves, the Jamaicans are resilient, proud, and resourceful. While their lives are difficult, the people are hard-working, spiritually enriched and hopeful for their future. Global Volunteers started its ground-breaking work in the Blue Mountain communities, and we continue this 20-year relationship today. Since 1984, we have been privileged to work with and learn from the generous people in this region. We invite you to share this formidable relationship with us! Help upgrade infrastructure and improve educational opportunities to ensure a better future for children and their families in these quiet villages.
