This page aims to do just what the name implies: provide you with an irie meditation for a few minutes; but it offers an even more worthwhile distraction: it offers you a great view of my Jamaican culture and the current events of the island. My dual passion is poetry and Jamaican cuisine, but my love for reggae music is surpassed by neither of those intense interests. I hope that after viewing my home page, you too will appreciate the culture of my island. Welcome or as we say in J.A., Rope een! The Coat of Arms The Jamaican Coat of Arms is the national symbol which bears the nation's motto: "Out of Many, One People". This motto acknowledges and embraces the fact that our island-people are the product of a combination of many races and nationalities outside of the Caribbean. This is not only a source of pride but of mild disunity, an incongruity that fuels the island's competitive yet harmonious spirit.

     Extractions: THE DREAD LIBRARY The Matrix Rhetoric of Reggae Music Reggae Links Dread Library Catalog in Spanish-speaking Countries BRIAN NEMITZ With its close geographic proximity to the Caribbean and Latin America, Jamaica has not only received influences from these cultures, but has also been influential on molding and forming an integral part of Spanish-speaking nations. The growing popularity of reggae and Jamaican culture as a whole is apparent all over the world, and is catching on quickly. Although there are reggae groups found in many of the Spanish-speaking countries worldwide, there is not much literature that has focused on their history or followed their progress, just like there is not much published work about reggae and Rastafarianism. This paper intends to focus on the Spanish involvement in Jamaica and also chart the musical influence of reggae in these aforementioned regions. Although there is not much evidence regarding the Spanish involvement of Jamaica, the Spaniards were supposedly the first to arrive on the island, and settle it shortly thereafter. Christopher Columbus veered off his path and came upon the small island in the Caribbean on his second voyage in may of 1494. The island was already inhabited by the indigenous people called the Arawaks, who supposedly came from Venezuela and had already named the island Xaymaca. Not unlike the other Caribbean islands the Spaniards inhabited, their presence decimated the indigenous population. The influx of disease and mistreatment of the indigenous people by the newcomers led to their eventual demise, 70-80 years after the Spanish arrival. (Musgrave). Only a few artifacts remain of what was once the Arawak culture, a people that at one point numbered 60,000. (Barrett, p. 20).

     Extractions: HOME IT GEOGRAPHICS HISTORY OF JAMAICA NATIONAL IT POLICY ... ABOUT THE AUTHOR HISTORY OF JAMAICA Christopher Columbus discovered the island. The Spaniards occupied the country and remained in possession for 146 years. The English captured the island from the Spaniards and colonized the territory. Port Royal, which had become the focal point of the pirates plundering the Caribbean and Central America, was destroyed by earthquake and Kingston became subsequently the chief city and port. Slaves were emancipated and the economy foundered due to the crisis on the plantations. Britain’s free trade policy led to a further deterioration in the Jamaican economy because sugar protection was lifted and Jamaican sugar was in competition with cheaper sugar from elsewhere. The Morant Bay Rebellion broke out after prolonged disputes between the planters and the settlers. Crown Colony Government replaced the old system of representative government. An export trade in bananas replaced the predominance of sugar and restored the island’s economy. Universal adult suffrage was introduced under the new Constitution and proved to be the first step in the gradual move toward independence.

     Extractions: Technical Brief Number 2 The Center for International Rehabilitation Research Information Exchange (CIRRIE) is supported by a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) to the State University of New York at Buffalo. The mission of CIRRIE, a Knowledge Dissemination and Utilization project, is to facilitate the sharing of information and expertise in rehabilitation research between the United States and other countries. As a part of this mission, CIRRIE has developed a series of monographs that are designed to disseminate useful information to rehabilitation service providers. These monographs address cultural issues of individuals who are foreign-born, especially those who may be recent immigrants, and who may have approached a rehabilitation agency for services or be in the process of receiving services. Issues raised in the monographs suggest areas that may be significant in achieving a successful rehabilitation outcome. The monograph series is called: The Rehabilitation Provider's Guide to Cultures of the Foreign-Born. Cultures selected for a monograph represent the top eleven countries of origin of the foreign-born population in the United States. Currently, a monograph is available for: China, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, India, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, and the Philippines. Monographs are currently in development for Vietnam and Haiti. For all currently available monographs see:
