"Fashion ova Style": The Art of Self-Fashioning in Jamaican Pop Culture 330 $aBuyers Beware offers a new perspective for critical inquiries about the practices of consumption in (and of) Caribbean popular culture. The book revisits commonly accepted representations of the Caribbean from ?less respectable? segments of popular culture such as dancehall culture and 'sistah lit' that proudly jettison any aspirations toward middle-class respectability. Treating these pop cultural texts and phenomena with the same critical attention as dominant mass cultural representations of the region allows Patricia Joan Saunders to read them against the grain and consider whether and how their ?pulp? preoccupation with contemporary fashion, music, sex, fast food, and television, is instructive for how race, class, gender, sexuality and national politics are constructed, performed, interpreted, disseminated and consumed from within the Caribbean. 410 0$aCritical Caribbean Studies 606 $aConsumers$zCaribbean Area 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aPopular culture$zCaribbean Area 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 607 $aCaribbean Area$2fast 607 $aCaribbean Area$xCivilization 610 $acritical inquiry, shopping, buyer, consumption, Caribbean studies, Caribbean, Caribbean popular culture, pop culture, sistah lit, middle-class, pulp, contemporary fashion, music, sex, fast food, television, race, gender, class, sexuality, national politics, perform, Global Marketplace, Epistemology, Self-Fashioning, Jamaican Pop Culture, Caribbean Women, Contemporary Caribbean Art, Cultural Insurgency. 615 0$aConsumers 615 0$aConsumption (Economics)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPopular culture 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a339.4/7 700 $aSaunders$b Patricia Joan$01729361 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838318803321 996 $aBuyers beware$94139128 997 $aUNINA
