註釋

Tommy Beel went to live in North America and noticed some outstanding differences, unlike those norms to which he was accustomed. He put the more striking differences in a book. It covers what are the often accepted norms on the island of Jamaica, but not in North America. Tommy paints a picture of life in a Caribbean, Third World country. He provides an absorbing cultural reality...Get snippets of rural Jamaican life, and of Kingston, the capital. Look at how every-day existence interacts with economic and social life. Beel has experienced life in Jamaica, the Southern United States and Western Canada. Time spent in these countries and the fact that he moved from the South to the North made him more aware of the contrasts. Share in a wide range of differences on daily life. Look at culture, religion, black magic (obeah, in Jamaica), being Rastafarian, the local butcher in rural areas of the island, various popular foods, grocery shopping, the weather and the Pocomanian church.
