Dub is an act of deconstruction, where a reggae musician takes
apart the key elements of a music track, and repositions them,
transforming the original, enabling new ways of hearing and
understanding. Dub is not neutral, it enriches music with
political, spiritual and cultural influences, challenging the
establishment.
"Jesus Dub "is Robert Beckford's exploration of the dialogue
between two central institutions in African Caribbean life: the
church and the dancehall. Beckford shows how Dub, one of the
central features of dancehall culture, can be mobilized as a
framework for re-evaluating theology, taking apart doctrine and
reconstructing it under the influence of a guiding theme. Engaging
with the social and cultural heritage which informs Christian
African Caribbean culture, including the influence of slavery,
Revival Christianity and working class Jamaican life; Black
theology; and music ranging from post-war Sound System to American
Hip Hop, "Jesus Dub "is an exploration of how throughout history,
music and faith have been transformed in response to racialism
oppression. Finally, Beckford demonstrates that dub style appears
in the teachings of Jesus, and that dub is a tool which can provide
new ways of envisaging and practicing spiritual gifts, financial
giving and family life, proposing a more inclusive theology for
everyone.
