Description:
Reggae is a music genre that was first developed in Jamaica in the late 1960's. Reggae song lyrics often deal with many subjects including faith, love, relationships, poverty, injustice, and other board social issues as environmentalism and promoting and caring for the needs of the younger generation. In addition, the exhibition will highlight materials of the University of Delaware Library that focus on Reggae legend, Bob Marley, who worked as a laboratory assistant with the DuPont Company, a warehouse worker, and an assembly line worker at the Chrysler plant in Newark during the early 1960s. The exhibition will also include Jamaican history, culture, and social customs as well as other Reggae musicians, the international popularity of the genre, and Reggae lyrics and themes especially those dealing with global issues.
