    Extractions: Jamaica is greater than the sum of its parts. But for many visitors, the only part they see is one of four major resort areas. There's always-lively Montego Bay, with its beaches, golf, shopping, and nightlife and Ocho Rios, known for its beaches and upscale resorts, while Negril, aka Beach Party Central, pulls in the younger set, and Port Antonio is a lush, quiet getaway. Visitors who explore find a beautiful island, a vibrant culture that goes far beyond reggae, and endless opportunities to play under the sun. You can golf, horseback ride, or dive (on wrecks and among the ruins of a city that fell into the sea in an earthquake in 1692). You can take day hikes or trek through the Rio Grande Valley, then celebrate with a cup of Blue Mountain coffee. In Kingston, the island's cultural heritage is on display at the National Gallery of Art, and you can learn about the most famous Jamaican of all at the Bob Marley Museum. Field Notes BEACHES GOLF Carved from the rolling hills near Mandeville more than a century ago, the Manchester Country Club is Jamaica's oldest golf course. It's a classic, but for the most challenging round of your stay, haul your putter to The Tryall Club. Built on the site of a 19th-century sugar plantation near Montego Bay, it's a stunning championship course with sea views at every hole.

    Extractions: Directory of newspapers and news sources from around the world. Birthplace of Reggae Jamaica was a dependency of Britain for more than 300 years, and everybody knows the island as the birthplace of reggae; thanks largely to the popularity of Bob Marley. Kingston The capital of Jamaica is not for everyone, and many tourists staying in Montego Bay or Negril never even get to see Kingston, or squeeze themselves into one of the cross-island minibuses. At the foot of the Blue Mountains, on the south-east coast of the Caribbean island, Kingston has a deep harbour protected to the south by the Palisadoes. Many Caribbean Cruises make this a port of call. At the entrance to the harbour are the partly submerged ruins of old Port Royal, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692.

    Extractions: Is it because we are so far away? Or is it that there are so few visible Jamaicans in California that the mystique surrounding us is that much more heightened? Maybe it's the success of our Reggae and dancehall ambassadors that has stimulated the West Coast appetite for things Jamaican. In my opinion, it's all of the above. In Los Angeles, particularly, it's an excellent opportunity for us to cash in on the current popularity of the Jamaican culture - our music, our cuisine, our dance forms, and films that explore our uniqueness and beauty. At the World Championships of the Performing Arts held in Hollywood last year, I spoke with the judges, who were all music, film and television executives working in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Every single one of them asked basically the same questions: how could they get more Jamaican content into their products? How could they find more Jamaican artistes, models, actors, dancers, bands and musicians? At an event where close to 600 persons from all over the world competed in speech, dance, drama and music, when the final 10 were announced, seven of them were Jamaicans. Weeks before the event, the organisers in LA were calling and sending me E-mail messages asking that I recruit more Jamaican performers, because they were getting urgent requests from the judges for Jamaican bands, singers, dancers and actors. Sadly, the costs of entering the event - accommodation and travel - far exceeded the financial capabilities of our performers.

    http://www.ipsl.org/programs/jamaica.html
    
    Extractions: IPS-L Programs The geography of Jamaica is as varied as its people and its rich historical and cultural background. In Jamaica, you will learn about the original Carib and Arawak Indian peoples, Spanish and British colonialism, the plantation period and economy, the achievement of independence in 1962, and Jamaica's efforts toward development in the contemporary world as the leader of the Caribbean community. Jamaica is connected by culture to Africa, by geography to the Americas, and by history to the British Commonwealth. From its British heritage, the national language is English (with a melodious lilt), but you will equally hear and learn the "second language," patois. You will enjoy reggae music and learn of Bob Marley's leadership in bringing peace between rival political parties and points of view. Through service-learning and your homestay, you will learn that this island nation is more than beaches and reggae (although both of these will certainly be part of your experience). You will directly encounter the social, cultural, economic, and political issues and concerns facing Jamaica and the Caribbean, and learn what it means for Jamaicans to live in the shadow of its giant neighbor to the north.

    http://www.jahworks.org/travel/air_jamaica.html
    
    Extractions: In the wake of the terrible attacks on America and the resulting fallout in world travel, a Caribbean airline says business has been better than originally anticipated. Air Jamaica marketing executive Allen Chastanet said he believes the carrier will exceed budget for both January and February this year, while advance bookings for March, April, May and June look extremely promising. "The critical question is when do we stop the level of discounting that we are having to do in order to resuscitate this business." Chairman of Air Jamaica, Dr. Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, speaking to travel agents and industry partners in New Jersey last week, said: "Mr. Bin Laden messed up Air Jamaica much less than most people were affected and we never did fall below a 50 percent load factor (after the terrorist attacks)." Chastanet, who is the airline’s senior vice president of marketing and sales, noted that several routes were recovering nicely due to a release of "pent up demand" and people were resuming their travel plans despite the recent warm weather in the United States. In particular, loads to the Dutch island of Curaçao from Montego Bay have been steady while business to Barbados is on the increase. Air Jamaica serves Barbados with non-stop flights from New York and via the Montego Bay hub in Jamaica.

    Extractions: http://www.thegully.com/essays/gaymundo/031103_lesbian_gay_jamaica.html By Kelly Cogswell Don’t let Bob Marley’s peace and love lyrics fool you. In Jamaica, violence is an endemic problem that erodes everyone’s basic civil liberties, and threatens gay lives. More than 740 murders have taken place so far this year on the Caribbean island, many of them due to reprisal killings, gang-related violence, and domestic incidents. In 2002, the police themselves were responsible for the deaths of at least 133 people, “many in disputed circumstances suggesting extrajudicial executions,” according to Amnesty International. The elections that year saw the deaths of at least 60 people in politically motivated violence. Lesbians, gay men, and transgendered people are on the front lines, targeted for repression and violence from the dancehalls to the pulpits, and police stations. Against God and Jamaica In the 1980’s, AIDS brought the issue of homosexuality out of the closet in Jamaica, but the violent backlash drove the small lesbian and gay community underground. Queer issues are once again in the hot seat, this time with the first confirmation of an openly gay priest as an Anglican bishop almost two thousand miles away.

    Extractions: Please see order form for more details. It is now acknowledged that some of the most exciting scholarly work on Caribbean, and specifically Jamaican, culture is precisely that which attends to popular forms. These essays on Jamaican popular culture all address the problematic politics of identity in a 'postcolonial' state, from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Their interests span a century of Jamaica's cultural life, beginning with the early-twentieth-century pageants of the Garvey movement and ending with the twenty-first-century staging of masculinity and heterosexuality in the dancehall. They each interrogate Jamaican nationalisms and suggest ways in which contestations over ownership of the brand, Jamaica, generate culture clashes around representations of race, colour, class, gender and sexuality. Articles include: Unruly virtues of the spectacular: Performing Engendered Nationalisms in the UNIA in Jamaica
