Des Wallace
Yamecah: Jamaica, New York
Jamaica, Queens. A story about place, identity, and what a neighborhood gives and takes from the people who come through it — written for readers who know what it means to be shaped by a zip code.
About the Book
A zip code is a sentence. Some people serve it. Some escape it. Some carry it forever.
Yamecah is Des Wallace at his most urban and intimate — an illustrated narrative rooted in the specificity of New York street life, the weight of community memory, and the quiet persistence of people who build something real in hard places. For readers who understand what it costs to leave where you came from, and what it means to bring it with you anyway.
