Map of Jamaica from the 1800s with annotations based on locations from Here Comes the Sun by Nicole Dennis-Benn. Montego Bay is singled out as a rival geography in the novel where neocolonialism and resistance to it exist side by side (literally in some cases, such as Verdene and her neighbours) in the area.
