Books by Stephen A. King

Reveals the strategies used by blues promoters and organisers in Mississippi, both African American and white, local and state, to attract the attention of tourists. In the process, Stephen A. King reveals how promotional materials portray the Delta's blues culture and its musicians.

Drawing on research in social movement theory and protest music, Reggae, Rastafari, and the Rhetoric of Social Control traces the history and rise of reggae and the story of how an island nation commandeered the music to fashion an image and entice tourists.
