Synopsis "Insurgent Soundscapes of Dancehall Music: Black Politics and the Global 1990"

This book evaluates modern Black internationalism through the sonic insurgencies of Reggae and Dancehall. Born as a sufferer in the 1970s, Dancehall is often framed by its lyrics of hyper masculinity. This has distorted its intertwined engagement with the politics of its older sibling Reggae-largely Rastafari's critique of the West as being of a Biblical Babylon. Both strains grappled with questions of a decolonizing and migrating Caribbean: hard times, concrete ecologies, and promised lands. But if Reggae's radical soundings of Black liberation repatriated East beyond Babylon's rivers, then to what extent did Dancehall imagine Zion amidst the contradictions of the gully sided West? In the global 1990s Reggae and Dancehall sound systems curated sites of Black cultural insurgency across the world.
