5.0 out of 5 stars Sociological Origins of West Indian Music, February 12, 2009
By BYF "Backyard Flix" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
From back cover:

"this is a book about the music of the Caribbean -- form calypso and ska through to reggae and Caribbean club culture. Dick Hebdige traces the roots of the music, and describes the styles and sense of cultural identity that have developed alongside it wherever it is played. 'Cut ''n' Mix' tells the story of how sound and sense have been spliced together in music which begin in the West Indies but which ends up addressing a community stretching from Africa to Western Europe and the States.

The book looks at:

* The African and Caribbean roots -- religion, myth and the importance of rhythm
* Carnival, steel bands and calypso -- the music of Trinidad
* The story of reggae from mento and ska through dub to lovers' rock and talk over
* Rastafari -- the music and spiritual inheritance
* The Jamaican record industry
* The scene today -- black British reggae, white 'Jamaican' music, Two tone, and the legacy of punk; 'slack style' and the links between New York rap and MC reggae.
