Description

The diverse musics of the Caribbean form a vital part of the identity of individual island nations and their diasporic communities.

At the same time, they witness to collective continuities and the interrelatedness that underlies the region's multi-layered complexity.

This Companion introduces familiar and less familiar music practices from different nations, from reggae, calypso and salsa to tambu, meringue and soca.

Its multidisciplinary, thematic approach reveals how the music was shaped by strategies of resistance and accommodation during the colonial past and how it has developed in the postcolonial present.

The book encourages a comparative and syncretic approach to studying the Caribbean, one that acknowledges its patchwork of fragmented, dynamic, plural and fluid differences.

It is an innovative resource for scholars and students of Caribbean musical culture, particularly those seeking a decolonising perspective on the subject.
