1.The Other Side of Paradise: A MemoirThe Other Side of Paradise: A Memoir
from Scribner
Price: $1.06

Customer Review:
It was only difficult to read because my emotions were overwhelmed from time to time. Although I grew up in the Surburbs of long island, with a pool in back and grass to cut on sunny saturday mornings in summer, I was not devoid of my own personal pains, lifes obstacles and dramatic tragedy in a... more info

2.A Small PlaceA Small Place
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $20.00

Customer Review:
I love this book because it is beautifully written- lyrical, poetic, smart. I think she captures her complicated opinions on the culture and history of Antigua wonderfully. It's a brutally honest book, which I think is refreshing. As far as I know, and I may be wrong, she doesn't really represent... more info

4.Soul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley in Jamaica and BeyondSoul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley in Jamaica and Beyond
from Insight Editions
Price: $23.01

Customer Review:
The photos are absolutely stunning! Beautiful Marley pics! Although I am a Bob Marley's fan, and have accumulated quite a bit of paraphernalia, I thought "Soul Rebel" was a fairly good find. There is some pertinent information about Marley but the book is not entirely about him; it covers other... more info

5.This Is Reggae Music: The Story of Jamaica s MusicThis Is Reggae Music: The Story of Jamaica's Music
from Grove Press
Price: $9.84

Customer Review:
If you are a reggae fan, this is a must read. I was unaware of the re-titling of the book, but that said, it is still a great book. As a white guitar player who joined a roots type reggae band a few years ago, (sadly the band is no more) I thought I would educate myself about the music and history.... more info

6.[no image]Rastafari: Roots and Ideology (Utopianism and Communitarianism)
from Syracuse Univ Pr (Sd)

Customer Review:
THIS BOOK IS A VERY DETAILED LOOK INTO THE LIFE OF RASTAFRIANISM. AT TIMES IT SEEMS TO DRAG ALOT ALMOST TOO MUCH WHICH TAKES MY ATTENTON AWAY FROM WHAT IM READING. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY PATIENT WITH THIS BOOK IN ORDER TO READ IT. IT ALOST SEEMS MORE OF LIKE A TEXT BOOK ON RASTAFARI. I WOULD SUGGEST... more info

This is a book written by an academic, but it has applications for anyone interested in this kind of music.

from Soul Jazz Records Publishing
Price: $25.05

Customer Review:
This book offers great insight into a culture that still remains largely a homegrown experience. Try as we might, there just is no way anyone can ever fully recreate the sheer explosiveness and creativity that emerged from one tiny likkle island in the Caribbean so many years ago; but it sure is fun... more info
