This book explores the history of reggae in modern Britain from the
time it emerged as a cultural force in the 1970s. As basslines from
Jamaica reverberated across the Atlantic, so they were received and
transmitted by the UK's Afro-Caribbean community. From roots to
lovers' rock, from deejays harnessing the dancehall crowd to dub
poets reporting back from the socio-economic front line, British
reggae soundtracked the inner-city experience of black youth. In
time, reggae's influence permeated the wider culture, informing the
sounds and the language of popular music whilst also retaining a
connection to the street-level sound systems, clubs and centres
that provided space to create, protest and innovate. This book is
therefore a testament to struggle and ingenuity, a collection of
essays tracing reggae's importance to both the culture and the
politics of late twentieth and early twenty-first century Britain.
