Book excerpt: "In Jamaica, dancehall music and culture has become perhaps the most prominent expression of Jamaican popular culture. Taking its name from dance halls in which popular local recordings were played by sound systems, the concept of Dancehall as a cultural space has rapidly gained momentum in the last three decades as deejay stars enjoy unprecedented successes locally and internationally. Donna Hope builds on her earlier work on popular culture and theories of sexuality/gender to examine the process and progress of Jamaican masculinities. Man Vibes: Masculinities in Jamaican Dancehall explores Jamaican masculinity through the male-dominated dancehall space that is at once a celebration of the marginalized poor and also a challenge to social inequality. Using the major masculine debates that are articulated in dancehall music and culture, Hope explores the transition of Jamaican masculinity in the 21st century. The dancehall representations of Ole Dawg (promiscuity), Badman (violence), Chi Chi Man (anti-male homosexuality), Bling Bling (consumerist/consumptive) and Fashion Ova Style (stylized transgressions and homosexuality) are all used to evaluate the relationship between dancehall culture and the hegemonic standard of masculine. Man Vibes significantly advances the Cultural Studies agenda and acts as a contemporary reader by speaking not only to dancehall music and culture s masculinities but to Jamaican and Black masculinities in general.

Book excerpt: Examines reggae culture as an expression of cultural, racial, and gender empowerment in the West Indian Diaspora In popular media Caribbean culture has either been reduced to stereotypes of laziness, marijuana, and reggae music, or conversely, to an identity centered around a refutation of colonialism. Both are oversimplifications, and do not explain the enduring Caribbean identity and empowerment throughout the diaspora. Vibes Up offers an exploration of Caribbean culture as it is felt, understood, and expressed, centered on research conducted in Brooklyn and Costa Rica. Sabia McCoy-Torres demonstrates how reggae culture—which encompasses the music and performance modes of both “roots” and “dancehall”—helps to shed light on dynamics relating to migration, diaspora, queerness, Blackness, and Caribbean cultural subjectivity. Through an examination of elements of the Black outdoors, including nightlife venues, sidewalks, and streets in front of homes, the book shows the important role that reggae plays in articulating the frustrations of migration, establishing community and belonging, and forming transnational relationships. Although reggae’s creators and producers are often perceived as homophobic, Vibes Up also offers a more nuanced examination of the transforming relationships between hetero and LGBTQ+ people in reggae spaces and the accommodation of an array of queer intimacies. The framing of Caribbean Blackness as an expression of perseverance, agency, joy, and the erotic, as opposed to a reaction to colonization, oppression, and enslavement, is a distinctly important and timely view.

Book excerpt: The celebrated popular music scholar presents an intimate portrait of The Boss and his legendary band Bruce Springsteen fans know that the band makes the man, which is why millions of people have jammed stadiums and arenas to see The Boss play countless shows with his incredible E Street Band. In this revelatory and unapologetic biography, respected music scholar Clinton Heylin turns a critical eye towards Springsteen’s early days, capturing this classic phase of his career and his rise from Asbury Park hood rat to global rock star. Using long-buried archival recordings and bootlegs, Heylin expertly traces Springsteen’s creative process as a songwriter and performer and illuminates the roles of the E Street Band members in creating their distinctive sound. Highly nuanced and as fiery as Springsteen himself, E Street Shuffle offers the most revealing portrait yet written on this American icon.

A literary enthusiast, Dintino encounters Fuller and discovers that her stories shed light on her own. Fuller becomes Dintino's guide and teacher, and Dintino gradually deepens in understanding and trust of her own life story. A memoir that reveals the impact of shared stories, extending beyond the limits of time and place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Popular Music in Britain Since 1945 provides the first broad scholarly discussion of this music since 1990. The book critically examines key moments in the history of black British popular music from 1940s jazz to 1970s soul and reggae, 1990s Jungle and the sounds of Dubstep and Grime that have echoed through the 2000s. While the book offers a history it also discusses the ways black musics in Britain have intersected with the politics of race and class, multiculturalism, gender and sexuality, and debates about media and technology. Contributors examine the impact of the local, the ways that black music in Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and London evolved differently and how black popular music in Britain has always developed in complex interaction with the dominant British popular music tradition. This tradition has its own histories located in folk music, music hall and a constant engagement, since the nineteenth century, with American popular music, itself a dynamic mixing of African-American, Latin American and other musics. The ideas that run through various chapters form connecting narratives that challenge dominant understandings of black popular music in Britain and will be essential reading for those interested in Popular Music Studies, Black British Studies and Cultural Studies.

But her unborn child is a vampire-witch hybrid – a being of immense power. Spirit witches and vampires will do anything to get their hands on it, including kill Phoebe. So, she goes into hiding until the baby is born. I’m the only person who knows where she is. But I can keep a secret…. Can’t I?... The problem is, I didn’t bank on the Spirit Realm ambassador using my brother’s life as a bargaining chip. He delivers an ultimatum: tell him where Phoebe is hiding or Frank will die. My brother means more to me than anyone else in the world and I can’t lose him. But if I tell the ambassador where Phoebe is, he’ll hand her over to Hugh Beaufort. They’ll kill her once the baby is born. Then Beaufort’s Draculs will take over the world, enslaving humans and turning them into vampire livestock. Can I really betray my friend and risk the fate of humanity to save my brother’s life? I might just have a third choice. The mythical Trinity. But nobody’s ever found her before and the last person who tried ended up dead. For fans of Annette Marie, Linsey Hall, Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. If you love sassy heroines, villains you love to hate and unputdownable chapters, you'll love this fast-paced urban fantasy book. Content: Contains language, violence and light romance.

Book excerpt: Occasionally, one gets the opportunity to witness mastery at work, as well as the work of mastery. Such was presented to me by Izzaak in his Poetic Duty I- Coming from Carriacou. The poems and the writings represent his views and reflections particular of life on the island of Carriacou, rich in tradition and culture. Each item shows an unparalleled deep insight on matters that others may take lightly. The reader should therefore expect that thought is essential if full and proper absorption of the written word is to be interpreted. It is not surprising, to me, that the term Kayak is used with pride, even though it was originally meant as in a derogatory sense equivalent to country-bookie for rural Grenadians to express what the city folks thought of Carraicouans. Indeed, when one first entered the city we did not know how to eat with knife and fork and we spoke funny. But not only did one overcome this, but presented to the world some most notable individuals. Read slowly of life in general, of persons who influenced Izzaak, and some of his own experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed the readings of the anthology and recommend it highly, not only to fellow Carriacouans, but to Grenadians, West Indians and the wider world. Dr. Alfred Braithwaite, Freeport, Bahamas.
