5 out of 5 stars this is reggae music paperback   July 12, 2008
A wonderful book which not only traces the history of reggae but delves into the fascinating and unique Jamaican culture as well, a big thumbs up!


3 out of 5 stars Nao e genial, mas vale ler   May 19, 2008
Terrivel a mudanca de capa e de titulo. Como "Bass Culure" tem o mesmo texto comprei essa versao americana mesmo. O livro e escrito em ingles britanico informal, o que torna bem dificil de ler.

Nao se trata de um livro sobre reggae apenas, mas sobre a "historia social da musica jamaicana". Nao e um livro didatico que te ensina o que ouvir, quem fez, etc... Vc vai aproveitar bem mais se conhece Reggae bem e esta querendo se aprofundar na "cultura". Acho que a parte sobre a musica em si nao e tao boa quanto o lado do povo jamaicano, etc...

Valeu a pena ler, mas nao era o que estava procurando.


5 out of 5 stars A Reggae Masterpiece   April 3, 2008
This book's a true masterpiece. It's a solid history balancing politics, culture, and musical analysis--all written with engaging style. Great stuff!

Great read about the history of reggae music. I learned a lot and ended up with a lot more reggae albums after reading some really cool stuff. However...his viewpoint on Marleys later Island work is sort of like reading a Yankees book written by a Red Sox fan....the guy seems to have some issues....however he does it justice by allowing Danny Simms to have the final say on Bob's behalf.

If you like Reggae and want to learn more about the culture and history other than Bob Marley then buy it.


3 out of 5 stars A hard time with reggae music   February 18, 2007
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

A mine of information about how reggae music rose and developed from ska through roots, up to its decline in the early 80's. Does not cover subsequent evolution to dancehall. Somehow hard to follow for not-English-born readers.
