MoCA on TRACE
Here's a link to a recent blog entry where I talk about films, MoCA, and rainforests. Big thanks to Alex Steed for the write-up. According to their website, TRACE is a TRANSCULTURAL Styles and Ideas magazine - a perfect host, then, for musings about our Chinatown Film Project.

And a photo snapped in the old Chinese Benevolent Association in Kingston's former Chinatown. Get this - the Chinese community is so integrated in Jamaica, that there is no Chinatown. Not only have the Chinese in Jamaica integrated racially, linguistically, and culturally - Bob Marley's first producer was Chinese - but, after arriving as indentured servants, Chinese Jamaicans now represent the moneyed elite.
I wonder why the Chinese immigrant experience was so different in Jamaica than anywhere else.
