Dread Talk examines the effects of Rastafarian language on Creole in other parts of the Carribean, its influence in Jamaican poetry, and its effects on standard Jamaican English. This revised edition includes a new introduction that outlines the changes that have occurred since the book first appeared and a new chapter, "Dread Talk in the Diaspora," that discusses Rastafarian as used in the urban centers of North America and Europe. Pollard provides a wealth of examples of Rastafarian language-use and definitions, explaining how the evolution of these forms derives from the philosophical position of the Rasta speakers: "The socio-political image which the Rastaman has had of himself in a society where lightness of skin, economic status, and social privileges have traditionally gone together must be included in any consideration of Rastafarian words " for the man making the words is a man looking up from under, a man pressed down economically and socially by the establishment."

What's the fastest way to learn the ins and outs of Jamaican Patois? Achieving fluency in Patwa (Jamaican Patois) requires a strategic approach, one that shows why -- and where -- what we hear seems to run together. "Instant Patwa" brings you that demystifying approach. English speakers are understood in Jamaica. Locals understand English. However, if you know only English without a grasp of the day-to-day language, you'll understand the local people way less than they understand you! The desired dynamic is equal understanding. With this in mind, "Instant Patwa" is written with a focus on what you'll hear (how native speakers speak), to show you how we say what we say. That's how "Instant Patwa" hones your listening skills and helps you to master spoken Patwa. Jamaican Patwa is relatively simple -- when you've learnt its secret patterns. After learning those patterns in this book, you should have a great grasp of Patwa. With Jamaica so near to Florida, and Kingston-culture so close to New York slang, Patwa is evolving. This book, therefore, is also a snapshot of authentic spoken Patwa as it now stands (and as it has stood for a few centuries). It's an easy read, with all you need for every Patwa conversation. Idiom, pronunciation and comprehension are at your fingertips in this simple guide. If you're an expatriate in Jamaica, this gives you an edge. If you're purely a fan of Jamaican Patwa anywhere in the world, what a great party skill you'll have after reading this book!

In Dread Talk Velma Pollard describes the language of Rastafari, tracing its development as an expansion of Jamaican Creole while showing how it is distinct both from Creole and Standard English. She demonstrates that dread talk must be understood in terms of Jamaican social history, emphasizing its religious origins, its evolution as a language of social protest, and its spread around the world through the Reggae music of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Jimmy Cliff. Dread Talk examines the effects of Rastafarian language on Creole in other parts of the Carribean, its influence in Jamaican poetry, and its effects on standard Jamaican English. This revised edition includes a new introduction that outlines the changes that have occurred since the book first appeared and a new chapter, "Dread Talk in the Diaspora," that discusses Rastafarian as used in the urban centres of North America and Europe. Pollard provides a wealth of examples of Rastafarian language-use and definitions, explaining how the evolution of these forms derives from the philosophical position of the Rasta speakers: "The socio-political image which the Rastaman has had of himself in a society where lightness of skin, economic status, and social privileges have traditionally gone together must be included in any consideration of Rastafarian words " for the man making the words is a man looking up from under, a man pressed down economically and socially by the establishment."

These poems are written in the Jamaican dialect (patois). I choose to write dialect because it is a language that can grab the attention of just about anyone, if it is performed in the right context. I have always loved my culture and found it necessary for us not be ashamed of who we are, where we are from, and how we speak. I try to represent my culture well. I was deeply inspired at a young age by the poetic icon, Mrs. Louise Bennett. My older sister, Ichael, came home from school one day with a copy of the book "Jamaican Labrish" by Louise Bennett. I felt good reading the poems. People were amazed at how well I could read and bring the language to life. This exposure ignited the gift in me as I began performing the poems at church and people could never get enough. I started developing my own writing at age 13.(/p) Every Jamaican, from any class of life, can understand the language. Just like Ms. Lou, I intend to take the language all over the world with my book.

Despite the small size of the island of Jamaica, (only 4, 411 square miles or 11,424 square kilometres) its influence on the world stage is enormous. This because of the outstanding people and unique ideas that we have given the world. Some of the remarkable persons that this little island has shared with the world are: Bob Marley, the world’s greatest reggae artist, Usain Bolt, the fastest man on the planet and Marcus Garvey who is now celebrated among the top fifty most influential philosophers in the world. In addition, the Rastafari culture and our musical genres: Mento, Ska, Rock Steady, Reggae and Dancehall are relished on every continent. This has given rise to a great demand for a working knowledge of our colorful language, patois. While some universities, especially in Canada, have sought to take up the mantle by offering courses in patois, Talk Jamaican is now making it easier for busy people who do not have the time to go to classes, to get a working knowledge of this language for which there is a constantly growing demand. And not only are the pronunciations and explanations easy to understand but also the insertion of cartoons, make your lessons easier to absorb and even adds humor. So sit back, relax, enjoy and learn. Irie.
