What
the Deejay Said: A Critique from the Street! (Paperback)
by William
(Lez) Henry
Dr. William (Lezlee
Lyrix) Henry, presents the first book ever written
by a Reggae Dancehall Deejay, that explains
the central role Jamaican culture played in shaping
the black cultural politics of the 1970s and 1980s
in the UK. He challenges and refutes much that was
said about black youths during this period by 'experts'
on race and successfully combines autobigraphical
reflections with the lyricism of many of the pioneers
who 'chatted' on Reggae Sound Systems. This
book documents for the first time a 'hidden
history' of the black expereince in Britain that shows
how black youth were not content to merely resist
institutionalised racism, in the land of their birth,
but laid the foundations to transcend it as well. A must
read for for all students of life.
