Book Synopsis The Words and Music of Bob Marley by : David V. Moskowitz
Download or read book The Words and Music of Bob Marley written by David V. Moskowitz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-02-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his life and perhaps even more since his death in 1981 at the age of 36, Bob Marley's music has demonstrated a unique ability to combine with almost any cultural setting, no matter how different the elements might at first appear. Through his adaptable, yet enduring musical messages, he represents an especially articulate type of singer-songwriter. Marley released a large quantity of introspective, autobiographical material at the height of his success and it is thus only in a work such as this—in which the artist is investigated through his recorded output—that one can understand who this great man truly was and what he hoped to achieve through his life and music. Time magazine made Bob Marley's impact strikingly clear when it named Exodus the most important album of the 20th century. Throughout his life and perhaps even more since his death in 1981 at the age of 36, Marley's music has demonstrated a unique ability to combine with almost any cultural setting, no matter how different the elements might at first appear. Through his adaptable, yet enduring musical messages, he represents an especially articulate type of singer-songwriter. Marley released a large quantity of introspective, autobiographical material at the height of his success and it is thus only in a work such as this—in which the artist is investigated through his recorded output—that one can understand who this great man truly was and what he hoped to achieve through his life and music. The Words and Music of Bob Marley investigates Marley's creative output chronologically and provides complementary biographical information where it is relevant and helpful. Themes discussed throughout the book include protest, revolution, love, hate, biblical concepts, and Rastafari culture.

Book Synopsis Race, Class, and Political Symbols by : Anita M. Waters
Download or read book Race, Class, and Political Symbols written by Anita M. Waters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Waters is one of a new breed of analysts for whom the interpenetration of politics, culture, and national development is key to a larger integration of social research. Race, Class, and Political Symbols is a remarkably cogent examination of the uses of Rastafarian symbols and reggae music in Jamaican electoral campaigns. The author describes and analyzes the way Jamaican politicians effectively employ improbable strategies for electoral success. She includes interviews with reggae musicians, Rastafarian leaders, government and party officials, and campaign managers. Jamaican democracy and politics are fused to its culture; hence campaign advertisements, reggae songs, party pamphlets, and other documents are part of the larger picture of Caribbean life and letters. This volume centers and comes to rest on the adoption of Rastafarian symbols in the context of Jamaica's democratic institutions, which are characterized by vigorous campaigning, electoral fraud, and gang violence. In recent national elections, such violence claimed the lives of hundreds of people. Significant issues are dealt with in this cultural setting: race differentials among Whites, Browns, and Blacks; the rise of anti-Cubanism; the Rastafarians' response to the use of their symbols; and the current status of Rastafarian ideological legitimacy.
Download or read book Time Come written by Linton Kwesi Johnson and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Key to understanding Black British history’ – The Sunday Times ‘Sharp and still relevant’ – Zadie Smith One of the great poets of modern times, and a deeply respected political and cultural activist and social critic, Linton Kwesi Johnson is also a prolific writer of non-fiction. In Time Come, he selects some of his most powerful prose – book and music reviews published in newspapers and magazines, lectures, obituaries and speeches – for the first time. Written over many decades, these works draw on Johnson’s own Jamaican roots and on Caribbean history to explore the politics of race that continue to inform the Black British experience. Ranging from reflections on the place of music in Caribbean and Black British culture as a creative, defiant response to oppression, to penetrating appraisals of novels, films, poems and plays, and including warm tributes paid to the activists and artists who inspired him to contribute to the struggle for racial equality and social justice, Time Come is a panorama of an exceptional life. Venturing into memoir, it underscores Johnson’s enduring importance in Britain’s cultural history and reminds us of his brilliant, unparalleled legacy. With an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack. ‘A mosaic of wise, urgent and moving pieces’ – Kit de Waal ‘As necessary as ever’ – The Observer ‘A book to be savoured and re-read’ – Derek Owusu ‘An outstanding collection’ – Caryl Phillips ‘A necessary book from a writer who continues to inspire’ – Yomi Sode ‘Incisive, engaging, fearless’ – Gary Younge
Download or read book Zip It Up! written by Ira A. Robbins and published by Trouser Press Books. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects more than 90 of the best articles — profiles, interviews and histories — that appeared in the magazine fans have called “the bible of alternative rock” but had a broader mission than that. Sections on: · the 1960s · classic rock · glam rock · prog and art rock · reggae · the roots of punk · American punk and new wave · UK punk and new wave · post-punk Annotated with recollections and reflections on the changing times, the ridiculous business of independent magazine publishing and the colorful, complicated artists — illustrated with cartoons, covers, documents and ads from the Trouser Press archive — Zip It Up! is vintage rock journalism of a form that is no longer widely practiced: features heavy on historical detail and lengthy, probing interviews, all written with wit, intelligence and a willful expression of opinions and values. It is also an extensive document of rock’s evolution from the 1970s to the mid-’80s, often capturing now-iconic bands in the early stages of their existence. By turns reverent, snarky, adulatory and cynical, Zip It Up! is a rich grazing ground for fans and students of music and music journalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why don’t people in advertising like their jobs anymore? What is all this nonsense about “branding campaigns”, “interactive advertising” or the suddenly so-important “conversations” between a brand of butter and consumers? Do “branding campaigns” make any sense? If not, why are they so popular? What happened to the Creative Revolution? What has “display” advertising, aka banner ads, on the web become, if not the reign of large-scale, low-quality direct response? What about our current obsession with social media? Do consumers really want to have “conversations” with brands? What is the real value of a Facebook fan? What are social networks if not private enclosures of the web and advertising platforms? Lastly: who was Howard Luck Gossage, and why should we study his work and his words? What did Gossage understand and put in practice in the '60s that could be valuable to us today? Were he around today, What Would Gossage Do?

This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can't happen here... Or can it? In the late 1980's Margaret Atwood's award winning novel The Handmaid's Tale showed us the dystopian society of Gilead. In 2017 Bruce Miller brought it to life on Hulu, and the parallels to the ultra religious patriarchal society to what is happening in the United States today is terrifyingly prophetical. This Binge Watcher’s Guide takes you through the first three seasons of the television series with each episode reviewed with a gut punch rating and trigger warnings. If you like to read the end of the book first or watch horror movies between your fingers, this book is for you. It's also for people who want a "couch buddy" to share all the WTF feelings that the show brings out. At the end of each chapter is a short guide on how to process the emotions brought up during the episodes and provides hope for a future that doesn't mirror June and the rest of the Handmaids existence. Blessed be the squad!
Book Synopsis From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge by : Doug Tarry Jr.
Download or read book From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge written by Doug Tarry Jr. and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I’ve done complicated. It’s complicated.” Residential and commercial buildings account for 17% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, that figure is roughly 29%. Net Zero homes, which produce at least as much energy as they consume, will play a key role in the current global climate crisis by drastically reducing energy consumption in the housing sector. Doug Tarry is a leading international authority on Net Zero homes. His company, Doug Tarry Homes Limited, has certified more Net Zero / Net Zero Ready homes (over 500 and counting) than any other builder in Canada. The title of Doug’s book, “From Bleeding Edge to Leading Edge: A Builders Guide to Net Zero Homes”, refers to his complicated and sometimes painful journey to Net Zero. Throughout the book, Doug offers his first-hand experience on what has worked and what hasn’t in building Net Zero homes, along with expert advice from some of the industry’s leading builders, building scientists and energy consultants. Much has been written about the technical details of building high-performance homes – the “what”. This book goes further and deals with the “why” and the “how”, discussing topics such as holistic design, embodied carbon, the Four Principals of Modern Design, the 100-year home, and climate resiliency. Written in plain language and infused with humor and storytelling, this book is a must-read for builders, renovators, architects, municipal officials, industry stakeholders and home buyers - anyone interested in the future of home building. It will help builders and their teams get to Net Zero in less time, with far less cost and pain.
