"Jamaica as it is, 1903" by B. Pullen-Burry is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a guide to Jamaica, detailing its tropical scenery, historical significance, and potential as a winter resort destination. The author aims to highlight the natural beauty and cultural aspects of Jamaica, particularly for readers unacquainted with the island. The opening of the text describes the author's initial experiences and observations upon arriving in Jamaica. It begins with a reflection on a sermon delivered by the Assistant-Bishop of Jamaica that captures the diverse demographic of the island. The author expresses a sense of fascination with the people, landscape, and climate, as well as a desire to dispel misconceptions about Jamaica’s geography—like its distance from volcanoes. The narrative reveals the author's intention to document her travels and encounters, presenting Jamaica's vibrant culture and scenery while also shedding light on the social dynamics among its inhabitants.
