| Beschreibung: | |
| This book, based on the author's MPhil thesis, describes a poorly understood aspect of Jamaican popular culture. It explores the socio-political meanings of Jamaica's dancehall culture. In particular, the book gives an account of the power relations within the dancehall and between the dancehall and the wider Jamaican society. Hope, a black Jamaican woman, gives the reader an unmatched insider's view and explanation of power, violence and gender relations in Jamaica as seen through the prism of the dancehall. After describing the beginning of dancehall and defining the term, Hope discusses the topics of sexuality and gender in the dancehall and violence and dancehall. She finishes her book with an analysis of identity politics and dancehall. | |
