183. Jamaica Kincaid
     Biography, list of major themes, suggested readings, and links.  
     http://www.emory.edu/ENGLISH/Bahri/Kincaid.html
     
     Extractions: Jamaica Kincaid Biography Major Themes "I was always being told I should be something, and then my whole upbringing was something I was not: it was English." (Cudjoe 219) "Antigua is a small place, a small island...It was settled by Christopher Columbus in 1493. Not too long after, it was settled by human rubbish from Europe, who used enslaved by noble and exalted human beings from Africa...to satisfy their desire for wealth and power, to feel better about their own miserable existence, so that they could be less lonely and empty- a European disease" (80-81). Antigua became self-governing in 1967, but did not achieve the status of an independent nation within the Commonwealth until 1981. Within the structure of the British educational system imposed upon Antiguans, Kincaid grew to "detest everything about England, except the literature" (Vorda 79). She felt first-hand the negative effects of British colonialism as the colonists attempted to turn Antigua "into England" and the natives "into English" without regard for the native culture or homeland (Kincaid 24). The effects of colonialism serve as the major theme for A Small Place in which Kincaid expresses her anger both at the colonists and at the Antiguans for failing to fully achieve their independence. She feels that Antiguans failed to adopt the positive aspects of colonialism, for instance a good educational system which might help the population to better their lives. This inability to promote the importance of education and hope for the future is symbolized in the failure to rebuild Antigua's only library, St. John's, which was "damaged in the earthquake of 1974" and years later, still carries the sign "REPAIRS ARE PENDING" (Kincaid 9).

     Extractions: Flag adopted 6 August 1962, Coat of Arms adopted 6 August 1962. see also: The symbolism of the colours is: yellow, sunshine and natural resources; black, the burdens borne by the people; green, agriculture and hope for the future. "Burdens and hardships there may be, but we have hope and the sun still shines". "The Jamaica National Flag came into use on August 6,1962, jamaica’s Independence Day. It was designed by a bipartisan committee of the Jamaica House of representatives.The Flag has a diagonal cross or saltire with four triangles in juxtaposition. The diagonal cross is in gold and one-sixth of the length of the fly of the flag; the top and bottom triangles are in green; and the hoist and fly triangles are in black. The exact shade of green used in the flag is Emerald T8 17, British Admiralty Bunting Pattern. The Flag follows the "Admiralty Pattern" and the proportion is 2 x 1. "Hardships there are but the land is green and the sun shineth"

     Our Trip To Paradise An account of a memorable trip to the Caribbean resort of Hedonism II in Negril, jamaica.  
     http://geocities.com/hedofrnz/index.html
     
     Extractions: Our trip to Paradise Home Photos Video Tour Trip Reports ... Email Hedonism II , or more affectionately "Hedo" to those fortunate enough to have experienced it, is located in Jamaica, the "Jewel of the Caribbean", 55 miles west of Montego Bay, on 22 acres of lush, manicured, tropical gardens situated on the northern end of Negril's 7-mile beach. Owned and operated by SuperClubs , Hedonism II is billed as a "Super All-Inclusive" resort, and all-inclusive is exactly what it is. You can safely store your wallet and credit cards in your room's security box and forget about them until it's time to leave...everything is included. You can call your travel agent, book your vacation at Hedo, pay one "up-front" price and forget about everything except how much fun the human spirit can endure! Hedonism II is an "adults only" resort and no one under the age of 18 is admitted. The resort is divided into nude and prude sides. Both areas are beautiful and if you want a great vacation, you'll find it on either side of Hedo, but if you're looking for the "ultimate" vacation, you'll find it on Hedo's famous nude side. The Perfect Vacation Having cruised the eastern Caribbean for our wedding/honeymoon 3 years earlier, we had decided to celebrate our 3rd anniversary with another trip to sunnier climes. We wanted that elusive "perfect" vacation but we weren't sure if we would take another cruise or visit one of those all-inclusive resorts we had been hearing so much about. We hadn't been to a resort before so we began a little research.
