- Summary:
- Dub in Babylon provides a cultural and musical history of dub from its early days in Jamaica to the decline of post-punk in early-1980s Britain. It examines the religio-political ideas it carried, tracing these through to the ideologies informing the subcultures of the late-1970's and finally to their transformation and neutralisation in the postmodern pastiche of post-punk dub, and examines dub's and roots reggae's contribution to race relations in 1970's Britain.
