As Jamaica expands its reach into the world and the interest in its culture and history grows, more and more people have asked for a series of titles that capture the colour and style of the everyday Jamaican lifestyle. Following in the footsteps of the popular and fun Jamaican Dancehall Dictionary comes this guide to words and proverbs. Illustrated throughout with humorous b/w line drawings.
