Magnificent photographic report by Patrick Cariou (to whom we also owe another very interesting book: Yes Rasta, Power House Books, 2000) on the legendary district of Trenchtown in the southern part of the Jamaican capital Kingston. Cradle of reggae music and many artists including Bob Marley, Trenchtown is a poor neighborhood, half village, half slum. Patrick Cariou takes us into this place and makes us discover his men and women of all ages, his children, his world inseparable from music with sound systems, its disparate houses, its Rasta culture, its poverty and its pride. A very beautiful book which has not been reissued but which deserves it.
