Their life-changing odyssey through the towns, villages and mountains of this beautiful island, revealed not only the Rasta way of life but an ancient mystery as well.

Book excerpt: Told in two voices, educated Jamaican English and the nation-language of the people, this dramatic novel tells the story of a well-meaning, middle-class woman and a young boy from the ghetto whom she desperately wants to help. Alternating between the perspectives of the woman and the boy, the story engages with issues of race and class, examines the complexities of relationships between people of very different backgrounds, and explores the difficulties faced by individuals seeking to bring about social change through their own actions. The dramatic climax and tragic choices made grow from the gulf of incomprehension between middle-class and poor Jamaicans and provide penetrating insights into the roots of violence in impoverished communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In these kaleidoscopic stories of Jamaica and its diaspora we hear many voices at once. All of them convince and sing. All of them shine.”—Zadie Smith An O: The Oprah Magazine “Top 15 Best of the Year” • A Well-Read Black Girl Pick Tenderness and cruelty, loyalty and betrayal, ambition and regret—Alexia Arthurs navigates these tensions to extraordinary effect in her debut collection about Jamaican immigrants and their families back home. Sweeping from close-knit island communities to the streets of New York City and midwestern university towns, these eleven stories form a portrait of a nation, a people, and a way of life. In “Light-Skinned Girls and Kelly Rowlands,” an NYU student befriends a fellow Jamaican whose privileged West Coast upbringing has blinded her to the hard realities of race. In “Mash Up Love,” a twin’s chance sighting of his estranged brother—the prodigal son of the family—stirs up unresolved feelings of resentment. In “Bad Behavior,” a couple leave their wild teenage daughter with her grandmother in Jamaica, hoping the old ways will straighten her out. In “Mermaid River,” a Jamaican teenage boy is reunited with his mother in New York after eight years apart. In “The Ghost of Jia Yi,” a recently murdered student haunts a despairing Jamaican athlete recruited to an Iowa college. And in “Shirley from a Small Place,” a world-famous pop star retreats to her mother’s big new house in Jamaica, which still holds the power to restore something vital. Alexia Arthurs emerges in this vibrant, lyrical, intimate collection as one of fiction’s most dynamic and essential authors. Praise for How to Love a Jamaican “A sublime short-story collection from newcomer Alexia Arthurs that explores, through various characters, a specific strand of the immigrant experience.”—Entertainment Weekly “With its singular mix of psychological precision and sun-kissed lyricism, this dazzling debut marks the emergence of a knockout new voice.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Gorgeous, tender, heartbreaking stories . . . Arthurs is a witty, perceptive, and generous writer, and this is a book that will last.”—Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties “Vivid and exciting . . . every story rings beautifully true.”—Marie Claire

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Messiah Clarke is facing some of the biggest challenges of his life. He has great money and power, but he can’t stop his beloved wife, Paisley, from dying from stage 3 breast cancer. They’ve been married for 17 years and Messiah has made a conscious decision to walk away from his drug empire in Jamaica and move to the United States in hopes of getting her treatment. Alfie Clarke, Messiah’s little cousin, is due to inherit the family’s empire when Messiah steps down. Alfie is young, reckless, and has a lot to learn. Messiah wants to leave his best friend and right-hand man, Kensie Saint James, in charge while he figures out his wife’s situation, but his uncle is pressuring him to let Alfie take his rightful place as head of their Rasta clan. However, Messiah isn’t convinced that it’s the best course of action. Charming “Charm” Backster has found herself in one hell of a predicament at the age of 22. Her choices are to go to jail for the next 20 years for drug trafficking and money laundering, or be a nanny for her father's good friend, Messiah, and gather intel on him and his organization. She doesn’t have anything to lose being that the feds took everything that her family owned. To make matters worse, her uncle is the FBI agent that’s pressing her to do it. But when she finally meets Messiah, will her emotions get in the way of the job she's been sent to complete?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listen to the rhythm of modern Jamaica as you read the dynamic poetry in The Heart and Soul of Jamaica. Sway with the beat of words in this compilation of poetry, telling the stories of people who make up Jamaican society. There are poems about wealth, poverty, sickness and health, dreams, and religion. Stories are woven about family life, the workplace, envy and jealousy, and the playfulness of children. All combine to make up the rhythm of Jamaican life. The poem Shattered Dreams describes teenage pregnancy and the resulting shelving of ambitious plans. Take Control chides a young man for not taking advantage of current opportunities, while he instead thinks of the past. The Rastaman tells of one of the most controversial groups in society. Many are well educated and they use music and lyrics to tell their stories about what is happening around them. No story about Jamaica would be complete without reference to its natural beauty and the hospitality of its people. Listen carefully to The Heart and Soul of Jamaica. The grandmother of four, mebsPicasso of Kingston is a retired registered nurse/midwife who has spent most of her life in Jamaica.She has lived and studied nursing in the United Kingdom and lived briefly in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet yet powerful revolution is going on. All over this country and across the world creativity-in the form of visual arts, music, dance, drama, and technology-is providing an emotionally expressive vehicle for communicating truth, developing character, and crossing cultural boundaries to build the kingdom of God. J. Nathan Corbitt and Vivian Nix-Early visited numerous artists, faith communities, and arts organizations to discover and document how the arts are being used to transform people and communities, especially in urban settings. The result is this extensive handbook that combines real-life stories with tested methodologies to create a new paradigm for the role of the arts in Christian ministry and mission. Taking It to the Streets provides church and mission leaders, youth ministers, and students with a historical perspective and theology for understanding the transforming power of the arts, a vocabulary for discussing them outside the sanctuary, and creative methods for bringing faith to action in the streets of society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of important contributions from noted scholars, articles derived from JAMPROs Jamaica Investment Forum 2015 written by members of the UWI Mona, WJC faculty as well as significant presentations from the policy makers who form the government of Jamaica. Importantly, this work focuses on examining the centrality of policies coupled with innovation in the transformation of Jamaica as the place to live, raise families and do business as espoused by the Vision 2030 national development plan. This joint work highlights the fundamental role that JAMPRO as the key agency for promoting Foreign Direct Investment in Jamaica plays in the thrust for economic growth and development. Importantly, we highlight some key contributors to the progress we have made in Jamaica through cases of home-grown multinationals such as the Grace Kennedy and Company Limited, LASCO, Kingston Wharves Limited, Sandals (ATL Group), while further noting areas that, with continued thrust and the right policies can fast-track our transformation. The key areas identified are Logistics, Agriculture, ICT/BPO (outsourcing) and Manufacturing. This book provides a valuable contribution to the literature on economic transformation, examining the history, current and new paradigms for the future in order to fast-track the economic transformation of Jamaica.
