About this book

Christopher Partridge's book "Dub In Babylon: Understanding the Evolution and Significance of Dub Reggae in Jamaica and Britain from King Tubby to Post-punk" offers a thorough examination of the musical and cultural background of dub. The book charts the development of dub from its 1967 Jamaican beginnings to its impact on modern music genres including drum 'n bass, trance, and hip hop.

It looks at the significance of dub in British culture and politics for African-Caribbean and white groups in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The relationship between dub and Rastafarian culture, as well as how it influenced punk and post-punk, is also explored in the book. An analysis of the postmodern shift in dub finishes.
