註釋Chris Salewicz visited Jamaica in 1978. It was a life-changing experience, and the first of many such visits. The Island of Springs has a population of only three million, but an impact on the world that far outweighs its size: from Bob Marley to reggae; through Obeah, voodoo and Rastafarianism; to, of course, ganja. Then there is piracy and slavery; political civil war; death squads or badmen, and Yardie organized crime. In 1995 the house Chris was staying in was attacked by machete-wielding badmen, an attack he has since investagated. In this book he has written about the history, culture, music and magic of Jamaica from his own personal experience of this island of paradoxes.
