Reviews for Inna Di Dancehall
“The author presents a lively, perceptive, first-hand account of the evolution of Jamaican dancehall culture. Combining scholarship and anecdotal evidence, Hope delineates the complex web of socio-economic and political factors that shape cultural identity in the marginalized working-class communities out which contemporary popular culture arises.” — Carolyn Cooper, Professor of Literary and Cultural Studies, University of the West Indies, Jamaica
