More Simms a la Rommen:

"These lyrics amply illustrate what Mimi Sheller has called the renaturalization of Caribbean bodies within a naturalized Caribbean. Put otherwise, the romance and freedom ostensibly accruing to those visitors willing to "do like the natives do" was generated in and through the "objectification of Caribbean people as part of the natural landscape; the equation of that landscape (and hence those who people it) with sexuality and corruption; and finally, the marketing of the Caribbean via imagined geographies of tropical enticement and sexual availability… Thus a sexuality drawing on the colonial past and its racial and gender hierarchies is coded into the representation of Caribbean landscapes and the tourist pleasures to be found there (Sheller and Urry 2004, 17-18)"
