Kudos to Thibault Ehrengardt for the books (French language) in his Jamaica Insula series. French-speakers who are interested in Jamaica will find these very useful/handy.
Les hommes illustres de la Jamaïque provides portraits of 11 of the most influential Jamaicans of all time – Thomas Gage, Marcus Garvey, Claudius Henry, Lewis Hutchinson, Vivian Jackson, Bob Marley, Vincent Martin, Henry Morgan, Edward Seaga, Tacky and Trevor Wilson.
Jamaica Insula – Histoire Des Premieres Cartes is a historical account of Jamaica that is based on amazing old maps and text, and illustrated with engravings.
Ehrengardt is also responsible for the French translation of Laurie Gunst’s controversial hit book, “Born Fi Dead” – Born Fi’ Dead : Sur la piste des gangs jamaïcains, de Kingston à New York.
