Jamaica

Reggae history and the small studios where it was recorded run through many of the articles in this category, alongside the obvious resort coverage of Negril and Montego Bay. Globerove tries to push past the all-inclusive version into Kingston neighborhoods, the Blue Mountains and their coffee farms, the smaller fishing villages on the south coast, and the cockpit country that few package itineraries reach.

Food writing covers jerk traditions beyond the tourist version, ackee and saltfish for breakfast, and the patty-and-bread combinations that fuel an ordinary working day. Practical material includes the cost reality of independent travel versus the resort-package math, the route taxi system that locals actually use, and the cultural pieces that look at Rastafari as a living tradition rather than a t-shirt slogan.
