This article by xtra.ca's Matt Mills explores homophobia, hypocrisy and murder in Jamaica.
The drive from Kingston's Norman
Manley International Airport to the centre of the city's business
district, New Kingston, winds through one of the Jamaican capital's
underprivileged neighbourhoods.
The
taxi driver keeps the accelerator tramped to the floorboard as we speed
through a maze of gritty, sun-baked streets lined with low, ramshackle
buildings. People stare as we pass by. Urban decay is not the right
description for this. Those words imply that a once-new prosperity
somehow slipped away over time, but there are no obvious relics of
better days here.
In
this class-stratified city, Kingston's various rough neighbourhoods are
the childhood homes of dancehall musicians, heroes of the ghettos, some
of whose lyrics call for and glorify the murder of batty men (Jamaican
patois for "bottom men").
