{"product_id":"9781568586564","title":"The Dead Yard : A Story of Modern Jamaica","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamed the Dolman Travel Book of the Year, The Dead Yard paints an unforgettable portrait of modern Jamaica. Since independence, Jamaica has gradually become associated with twin images- a resort-style travel Eden for foreigners and a new kind of hell for Jamaicans, a society where gangs control the areas where most Jamaicans live and drug lords like Christopher Coke rule elites and the poor alike. Ian Thomson's brave book explores a country of lost promise, where America's hunger for drugs fuels a dependent economy and shadowy politics. The lauded birthplace of reggae and Bob Marley, Jamaica is now sunk in corruption and hopelessness. A synthesis of vital history and unflinching reportage, The Dead Yard is \"a fascinating account of a beautiful, treacherous country\" ( Irish Times ).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nation Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48921438126315,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":45.76,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781568586564-1.jpg?v=1783113327","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781568586564","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
