Ambush




From my learnings in JA:

ambush (verb: to ambush;attack -i.e. the British Colonialists)
ambush (noun: the sacred bush used by the Maroons of Jamaica as camouflage during their revolts)

photographer: Renee Cox

Example of a British solider (Backra) getting jacked up: ..."Or a banana tree that ripe: you there to pick it to eat, and you start dead from de banana. De banana just start to lance you with knife and kill you...Ambush. "" from "True Born Maroons by (the infamous) Kenneth M Bilby.

Thanks Erica for putting me on to Renee Cox
