Its really true that Jamaicans can be found everywhere in the world. We seem to be specialists of exploration and assimilation of other cultures. Its quite interesting just how deep the network of Jamaicans is in Paris as everyday a Jamaican tells me ...oh Ive met another Jamaican...or mentions a so and so who is Jamaican or married to a Jamaican.
Many Jamaicans are highly succesful outside of Jamaica, some who may not have had the opportunities in JA which they have found abroad....
It begs the question of .... is an expanding diaspora a good thing or a bad thing for the country itself ?...should we be celebrating the diaspora more or are persons belonging to the diaspora too far removed from our reality that there is resentment at their success or maybe a kind of feeling of superiority if one has been more succesful in the Jamaican context?
Is the Jamaican context more hostile than the international context??
