How To Say Babylon: A Jamaican memoir

Safiya Sinclair was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, an area famed for its luxury hotels and pristine white sand beaches. But despite growing up in an idyllic backdrop, Safiyah learned from an early age to guard herself against her father, a reggae musician and follower of a militant Rastafari sect who also had a quick-fire temper. In his eyes Montego Bay and its Western influences, was Babylon incarnate and he forbade the women of the family to have anything to do with it. Her mother used books and poetry to bring joy to her children, but Safiya’s imagination and burgeoning independence would eventually place her on an emotional collision course with her father, forcing her to find a way to leave home.
