Description

A distinctive form of 'romantic' reggae, lovers rock emerged in the mid-1970s against the backdrop of tumultuous economic industrial disputes and successive urban uprisings in Britain following Margaret Thatcher's election as Prime Minister in 1979.This book explores racism in contemporary Britain through lovers rock and the intersections of gender, sexuality and the erotic within black cultural politics. Palmer argues that lovers rock is a distinctly black transnational project that has been largely overlooked as an important genre of black popular culture.The author highlights the ways in which black communities faced a pervasive crisis of deepening levels of lovelessness born out of institutional racism during the 1970s; lovers rock was a highly significant soundtrack to this period, narrating the everyday dimensions of black intimacy, decoloniality, love, resistance, and desire performed through popular love songs.Palmer also asks: what happens to discourses on the politics of blackness and love developed by key thinkers such as bell hooks when they are re-examined from the vantage point of blackness in Britain? She achieves a vivid exploration of the political value of lovers rock within a wider global transnational context, as a site that reframes questions of gender, race and racism through discourses on love, blackness and decoloniality.
