Jamaican Sayings - Life is the first in a series of three books
that capture Jamaican adages used to communicate ideas about human
nature, behaviour, relationships, aspirations, health hope and
survival. Jamaican Sayings - Character and Jamaican Sayings -
Success complement the series. The adages represent an archive of
the wit and wisdom of many generations and aim to trigger
reflection and thought. In their use they are never fully explained
but those to whom they are directed usually understand their
meaning based on the context in which they are used. They utilise
imagery and draw upon a variety of flora and fauna to enrich their
content. They hold valuable lessons, inspiration and wisdom that
link Jamaican culture to its African past. The sayings are
presented in three parts: i) the original saying; ii) the literal
English translation and iii) the meaning it aims to convey.
