3. SOGNANDO IL NORD
Most of the women come to Jamaica for the dreads, the “Rasta”, the black beautiful men, you
know, that's really the most of the concept. [….] They come here to get laid, which back home is
not something you can do that freely or you don't have that freedom to just walk up to somebody
and say: “Hi, how are you doing today, do you want to go to bed?”. Here it's kind of easier.
[….] With unemployment rates as high as 60% some men supplement their earings with gifts and
money from foreign women [….].
Women do throw their money around. I mean, money is power and it does a lot of things for
people and “if you get the money, you can call me honey and the day is funny!”.
[….] The white tourists represent for all these young men hope, aspiration, achievement.
I don't know why women are fascinated about these dreadlocks so much, it's the wildness
probably; the strongness and the wildness. This complete masculin energy.
[….] Many men see their “liasons” with foreign women as a way to travel and seak opportunities
abroad.

Nord: la liberà sta in quella direzione. E in un paese piccolo, dove le
frontiere sembrano barriere così grandi, i giovani guardano in alto,
sognando di partire. A Banjul, la capitale, sfrecciano di continuo
macchine costose, alcune non le vedi neppure a Dakar, in Senegal, paese
ben più grande e ben più sviluppato. Arrivano tutte da fuori, fatte venire
