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."

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.

From "The Talk of the Town," Jamaica Kincaid's first impressions of snobbish, mobbish New York Talk Pieces is a collection of Jamaica Kincaid's original writing for the New Yorker's "Talk of the Town," composed during the time when she first came to the United States from Antigua, from 1978 to 1983. Kincaid found a unique voice, at once in sync with William Shawn's tone for the quintessential elite insider's magazine, and (though unsigned) all her own--wonderingly alive to the ironies and screwball details that characterized her adopted city. New York is a town that, in return, fast adopts those who embrace it, and in these early pieces Kincaid discovers many of its hilarious secrets and urban mannerisms. She meets Miss Jamaica, visiting from Kingston, and escorts the reader to the West Indian-American Day parade in Brooklyn; she sees Ed Koch don his "Cheshire-cat smile" and watches Tammy Wynette autograph a copy of Lattimore's Odyssey; she learns the worlds of publishing and partying, of fashion and popular music, and how to call a cauliflower a crudite. The book also records Kincaid's development as a young writer--the newcomer who sensitively records her impressions here takes root to become one of our most respected authors.

This book is about the daily lifestyle of a true Jamaican country child from earlier times and is still present in the rural parts of Jamaica today. It brings back real memories to most Caribbean nationalities who have migrated abroad from earlier years to present and might have forgotten or even often times reminisce on those days. It brings laughter and history all at once. It is also a tribute to the many peoples that I have come in contact with in this Sojourn including Harry Belafonte, Monty Alexander, Dr. Julius Garvey son of one of our Jamaican national hero. Pioneers such as Cleveland Samuel Reid, Alonzo Smith, and Narciso F. Airey. It is also a compilation of English poems which depicts our connection to our multi-cultural past Out Of Many One People. It is also a thank you to my family and friends to whom I am extremely grateful.
