If you are considering leaving Jamaica to teach English in Japan, then this book is a must-read. Information about Japanese culture and work life is easily googleable, but if you want some insight into Japan from the perspective of a Jamaican, then this book is your best bet. In this book, reflective comparisons between living in both countries are framed by the narrative of my personal experiences. While no two Jamaicans will have the same exact experience living in Japan, most or all of what you will read in this book will serve to prepare you to make the big transition. I used to teach at the York Castle High School in Brown's Town, St. Ann, so I have some experience in the Jamaican classroom. Here, I have made concise yet substantive comparisons between both teaching environments. If you are currently teaching in Jamaica, or are weighing your mind as to whether to teach here or there, this book will offer some guidance. There are two major types of English-teaching jobs in Japan. You can work in an Eikaiwa, which is a private English conversation school, or you can work as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) in a public junior high or elementary school. These jobs have several critical differences, and understanding them will be important in guiding you into making an informed decision. I used to work in an Eikaiwa, and now I am an ALT. I have provided some detailed comparisons between these two teaching jobs. Not only does this book take you through years of my life in Japan (both inside and outside of the classroom), but it breaks down the process of getting a job in Japan and assimilating into this different world.

An important center of dancehall reggae performance, sound clashes are contests between rival sound systems: groups of emcees, tune selectors, and sound engineers. In World Clash 1999, held in Brooklyn, Mighty Crown, a Japanese sound system and the only non-Jamaican competitor, stunned the international dancehall community by winning the event. In 2002, the Japanese dancer Junko Kudo became the first non-Jamaican to win Jamaica’s National Dancehall Queen Contest. High-profile victories such as these affirmed and invigorated Japan’s enthusiasm for dancehall reggae. In Babylon East, the anthropologist Marvin D. Sterling traces the history of the Japanese embrace of dancehall reggae and other elements of Jamaican culture, including Rastafari, roots reggae, and dub music. Sterling provides a nuanced ethnographic analysis of the ways that many Japanese involved in reggae as musicians and dancers, and those deeply engaged with Rastafari as a spiritual practice, seek to reimagine their lives through Jamaican culture. He considers Japanese performances and representations of Jamaican culture in clubs, competitions, and festivals; on websites; and in song lyrics, music videos, reggae magazines, travel writing, and fiction. He illuminates issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class as he discusses topics ranging from the cultural capital that Japanese dancehall artists amass by immersing themselves in dancehall culture in Jamaica, New York, and England, to the use of Rastafari as a means of critiquing class difference, consumerism, and the colonial pasts of the West and Japan. Encompassing the reactions of Jamaica’s artists to Japanese appropriations of Jamaican culture, as well as the relative positions of Jamaica and Japan in the world economy, Babylon East is a rare ethnographic account of Afro-Asian cultural exchange and global discourses of blackness beyond the African diaspora.
