      abstract = {This book explores the history of reggae in modern Britain  from the time it emerged as a cultural force in the 1970s.  As basslines from Jamaica reverberated across the Atlantic,  so they were received and transmitted by the UKs  Afro-Caribbean community. From roots to lovers rock, from  deejays harnessing the dancehall crowd to dub poets  reporting back from the socio-economic front line, British  reggae soundtracked the inner-city experience of black  youth. In time, reggaes influence permeated the wider  culture, informing the sounds and the language of popular  music whilst also retaining a connection to the  street-level sound systems, clubs and centres that provided  space to create, protest and innovate. This book is  therefore a testament to struggle and ingenuity, a  collection of essays tracing reggaes importance to both the  culture and the politics of late twentieth and early  twenty-first century Britain.},
