A unique survey into the use of proverbs in the lyrics of reggae music. Reggae Wisdom looks at the context and origins of these proverbs and how they reflect Jamaican culture, Rastafari ideology and, of course, the music that is that culture's unmistakable worldwide voice. Chapters are devoted to the history of reggae, the life and folk culture of Jamaica, the context of album cover art, promo materials, concert venues, performance styles, and much more.

Reviews for Reggae Wisdom: Proverbs in Jamaican Music

Clinical departments, medical libraries and interested clinicians in particular will find this up to date, thorough book to be a useful and readable guide to the use of antimicrobial agents. -- New England Journal of Medicine Contains a wealth of information on most antimicrobials, including in vitro susceptibles, pharmacologic properties and clinical applications. It would certainly be of value to infectious disease specialists, clinical microbiologists and to many clinicians who routinely treat a wide variety of infections. -- Annals of Internal Medicine On questions of fact, the book cannot be faulted, and for a single author to have mastered the literature of this now vast subject and to have surveyed it so succinctly and accurately is a remarkable achievement. His book will be a valuable source of information for anyone aspiring to the more intelligent use of antibacterial drugs. -- British Medical Journal
