Moving to Jamaica to farm and live off the land sounds like a dream to many. For Canadian native Israel, this is becoming more and more of a reality. In this sit-down, I learned so much about Canadian history and African-Canadians' history. I learned why Israel sees Jamaica as the land of liberation and freedom. I learned so much from this one, and I think you might too.
