Wake the Town and Tell the People

Dancehall Culture in Jamaica

by Norman C. Stolzoff

An ethnography of Jamaican dancehall, the sound-system culture that followed roots reggae. Stolzoff traces its history and its social meaning for the Kingston poor, including the tension between 'slackness' and 'culture' or conscious Rastafari lyrics.
