Les Editions Natty Dread are releasing the fourth volume in their Jamaica Insula collection, entitled "Les Hommes illustres de la Jamaïque". The team behind the bimonthly Natty Dread, which ceased publication in autumn 2010, is thus back with this new publication, which draws portraits of 11 Jamaican figures written by its editor-in-chief Thibault Ehrengardt.
From Thomas Gage to Trevor Wilson, by way of Marcus Garvey, Henry Morgan, Edward Seaga and also Bob Marley and Yabby You, "Les Hommes illustres de la Jamaïque" outlines the historical, musical and political contours of the little Caribbean island.
Extracts can be read on the Natty Dread forum.
A second volume of portraits should also see the light of day.
