Maybe dead Yard doesnt give both sides of the coin...but it does give one-side and does provide factual info..For some a buzzkill no doubt but it is a reality of Jamaica.. A side that most tourists would not be aware of-just like many aspects of Jam,not everything is Irie all the time--and just like any other place on the planet there is the good ,the bad and the ugly..Just one of the realities to living in Jam.
If this isnt your cup of tea than just don't read it.....
ps.-I dont think interviewing younger and successful Jams would give a more rosier picture to difficulties and stresses one must deal with in living in Jam..
oh yes the history of westmoreland is outstanding-i bought my copy at the airport-fascinating read....
