Description:

These plenary lectures from the 'Global Reggae' conference convened at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica in 2008 eloquently exemplify the breadth and depth of current scholarship on Jamaican popular music. Radiating from the Jamaican centre, these essays highlight the 'glocalization' of reggae - its global dispersal and adaptation in diverse local contexts of consumption and transformation.
