This work provides an accessible account of a poorly understood aspect of Jamaican popular culture. It explores the socio-political meanings of Jamaica's dancehall culture. In particular, the book gives an account of the power relations within the dancehall and between the dancehall and the wider Jamaican society. Hope gives the reader an unmatched insider's view and explanation of power, violence and gender relations in Jamaica as seen through the prism of the dancehall.
DONNA P. HOPE is Senior Lecturer, Institute of Caribbean Studies and the Reggae Studies Unit, the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. Her publications include Inna di Dancehall: Popular Culture and the Politics of Identity in Jamaica and Man Vibes: Masculinities in the Jamaican Dancehall.
Pressestimmen
"The author presents a lively, perceptive, first-hand account of the evolution of Jamaican dancehall culture. Combining scholarship and anecdotal evidence, Hope delineates the complex web of socio-economic and political factors that shape cultural identity in the marginalized working-class communities out of which contemporary popular culture arises." - Carolyn Cooper, University of the West Indies, Jamaica
