Lloyd Bradley presents the first major account of the history of reggae in his book. He describes the origins and development of reggae in Jamaica, spanning from ska to rock-steady to dub and eventually to reggae itself—a local music that conquered the world. Beyond being a music history book, it connects the story of reggae to the broader history of Jamaica, from Colonial Island to troubled independence, and explores the experiences of Jamaicans from Kingston to London.
