Jamaica's History Jamaica Historical Information: Jamaica was discovered by Christopher Columbus on May 4, 1494. The Spanish (who ruled the island until 1655) were the first Europeans to explore the Caribbean. They eventually settled the Greater Antilles and either killed or absorbed the Arawak Indians native to the larger islands. The Antilles held a favored position because of their proximity to gold deposits, supply of Indian labor, easy access, fertile soil, and favorable climate. The region became known for its production of sugar, coffee, spices, and tropical fruits. The importance of the Antilles declined as the Spanish advanced into the New World through Mexico and Peru, and the islands mostly became supply bases. For centuries the Caribbean was a war zone fought over by European powers - England, France, Spain, and Holland - as well as pirates. In this century, the Windward Passage became a major shipping route between the eastern United States and the Panama Canal. Back to Jamaica Information Index Page.

29. José Barreiro, A Note On Tainos: Whither Progress? Text article depicts the cultural History of the Taino Indians both before and after the invasion from Spain and the eventual demise of their dominance of the islands. Cuba, jamaica, Puerto Rico, Hispa±ola and other islands. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/41/013.html

A Note on Tainos: Whither Progress? Northeast Indian Quarterly, pp. 66-77 Fall, 1990 Author's note: An appreciation is due John Mohawk, who contributed to an early version of this article. References in the body of the text refer to the Select Bibliography which follows this article. All ilIustrations except the photograph on page 76 are taken from Onelio Jorge Cardoso, Los Indocubanos. Havana: Gente Nueva, 1982. Taino culture was dominant throughout the Caribbean, a sea and island world that was in turn cradle of Taino civilization. In agriculture, seafaring and cosmology, Ciboney and Guanahatabey (western Cuba), Macorix and/or Ciguayo (Bohio) and even Carib (Lesser Antilles) all followed the material and much of the psycho-spiritual framework of the Taino. The original Caribbeans spoke Arawak. The people of the Arawak language family still comprise one of the more widespread American Indigenous cultures, with relatively large kinship nations in the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of South America. Throughout the Caribbean, usually in remote mountain ranges and coastal promontories, remnant groups and communities of Taino-Arawak and Carib descendants survive to the present. Aspects of the animistic and material culture of the Taino-Arawak have been adopted by the mestizo populations of the Caribbean and are interwoven into the Euro-African fabric of the islands' folk universe. The word Taino meant "men of the good," and from most indications the Tainos were good. Coupled to the lush and hospitable islands over millennium, and a half, the indigenous people of "La Taina" developed a culture where the human personality was gentle. Among the Taino at the time of contact, by all accounts, generosity and kindness were dominant values. Among the Taino peoples, as with most indigenous lifeways, the physical culture was geared toward a sustainable interaction with the natural surroundings. The Taino's culture has been designated as "primitive" by western scholarship, yet it prescribed a lifeway that strove to feed all the people, and a spirituality that respected, in ceremony most of their main animal and food sources, as well as the natural forces like climate, season and weather. The Taino lived respectfully in a bountiful place and so their nature was bountiful. (Jane 1930)

Last updated: document.write('Wednesday, June 9, 2004, 12:17 AM EST'); Jamaica's culture looms large in Africa KARYL WALKER, Observer staff reporter Friday, November 21, 2003 Sizzla (left), Capleton (middle) and Beenie Man are often imitated in South Africa CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Any doubts that Jamaica's music and culture are among the world's most popular, were dispelled at the Red Bull Music Academy which is underway in the bustling city of Cape Town, South Africa and will end on December 1. Jamaica looms large at the academy and South Africa in many ways. Dancehall, Reggae and what some participants describe as dub - for example the music of Lee "Scratch" Perry, Rastafarianism, and Jamaican slangs, including bad words, were on the tongues of many of the locals, students and staff at the Red Bull academy. Uhuru, a club located in the hip strip section of Cape Town, is renowned for its distinctly Jamaican flavour and on weekends when the club opens its doors to the public, the strains of Jamaica's popular music can be heard oozing from the building which houses the joint as one approaches the venue. Uhuru is owned by a black Rastafarian and is frequented by many of the city's many Rastafarians. Although the main staple offered by the disc jockey is the syncopated beats of modern dancehall music and most of the locals know how to do the popular moves, like 'signal the plane' 'handcart', and 'wave them off'.

Volunteer In Jamaica Volunteer Abroad Volunteer In The USA How To Apply ... Request Information Jamaica's Culture Celebrate the Rhythm of Life The culture of Jamaica has been deeply influenced by the disparate societies that at various times colonized the island. Today, Jamaica's people blend traditions from African, European, Arabic, East Indian, Chinese, and East Mediterranean descent. The indigenous Arawak never rooted their culture in Jamaica, because they were largely wiped out by disease introduced by Spanish settlers. Britain's 300-year occupation is reflected in both language and customs of Jamaica.Edna Manley, wife of Norman Manley, Jamaica's first prime minister, was instrumental in bringing Jamaican art to the world's attention. From the 1920s until her death in 1987, Manley worked tirelessly to promote Jamaican music, sculpture, dance and other art forms. Jamaican Music on the World Scene It is perhaps reggae that first comes to mind when people think of Jamaica. Reggae, a distinctively syncopated style of Jamaican music, much of it highly political, is a music form that emerged from traditional indigenous Jamaican music with African and Black American roots, and was popularized in the 20th century by Bob Marley and others. It was a pervasive influence on rock music in the 1980s, especially in Britain. For his cultural contributions, Marley received Jamaica's third highest national honor the Order of Merit and was posthumously enshrined in the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the late 1990s.

Jamaica's popular tourism image is of vast sandy beaches and all-inclusive hotels. But the island's small villages represent a more realistic view of Jamaican culture and community life. These are economically poor, isolated communities where people struggle to survive. As English-speaking descendants of slaves, the Jamaicans are resilient, proud, and resourceful. While their lives are difficult, the people are hard-working, spiritually enriched and hopeful for their future.

Culture Jamaica has a rich island culture. The people are friendly, the weather is nice, the food is good, the music is loud, and the parties are wild. Jamaican People The people of Jamaica come from many diferent backrounds, and most are a mix of several different cultures. The majority of people are mostly from Africa, desecendants of slaves who were brought to Jamaica when the Europeans settled here. Some of these slaves, soon after being brought to Jamaica, ran off into the mountains. These mountain people came to be known as "Maroons", with different groups that formed according to location) Since they were so isolated in the mountains, the many groups of Maroons became a nation within a nation, and still have traditions that they hold to even today. For example, the Accompong Maroons still come together every year, from near and far, to celebrate "The Day", January 6. People also descend from Europeans, Asians, and a mixture of many cultures. No one in Jamaica is not a mixture of several heritages, making it a truly multicultural nation. Jamaican Food Jamaica has a wide range of food. Most of it features exotic spices and tropical friuts and vegtables, due to its location. Some delicacies include Mannish water, a soup claimed to cure infertility, impotence and even the common cold; cowcod soup is a soup made from bananas, yams, rum, and "cowocd" (a jamaican secret!), and jerk chicken, which is chicken marinated in spices and then fried. It's not for the faint of tongue! They also eat ackee ( salted fish) and fried plantains, among other things.
