Bob Marley: Roots Reggae & Revolution

• About the book

Brian Richardson takes a sharp axe to the root of the processes of capitalist commodification that fool some people into seeing Bob Marley as a 'harmless icon'. As Marley himself once declared, 'mi see myself as a revolutionary', and Richardson's fine portrait explains why, by exploring the liberation struggles and rich cultural traditions of the Caribbean and wider African diaspora that inspired Marley's songs of freedom.
