Reggae Scrapbook

Reggae Scrapbook

Guiding us on this colorful book-length journey is one of the men who introduced reggae to America and helped rock the world with its syncopated beat, Roger Steffens. Through lectures, books, magazine articles, radio, and television, Steffens has shared his knowledge of reggae from coast to coast. He is the worldâ€™s premier archivist and collector of reggae memorabilia, and brings the best of his in-depth interviews with such reggae legends as Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, and â€œTootsâ€ Hibbert to this unique scrapbook. Covering topics such as â€œRoots and Ska,â€ â€œRock Steady,â€ â€œThe Golden Age,â€ â€œRockers, Digital and Dance Hall,â€ and â€œInternationalization,â€ and supplemented with sidebar features on historic figures, styles, and events, The Reggae Scrapbook demonstrates the bold statement made by the rise of this irresistible musical and social force. Already the book is gaining powerful critical comment: "Rich in political, religious and herbaceous context, this lively package is primer for the uninitiated and treasure trove for the fan," raved the San Francisco Chronicle.
