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. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Subcultures and Popular Music,$x2730-9517 606 $aReggae music 606 $aReggae music$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aReggae music$xHistory and criticism$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReggae music. 615 0$aReggae music$xSocial aspects 615 0$aReggae music$xHistory and criticism 676 $a781.6460941 702 $aWorley$b Matthew 702 $aHenry$b William$g(William "Lez"), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483804003321 996 $aNarratives from beyond the UK reggae bassline$92846544 997 $aUNINA
