Sexing the Groove: Popular Music and Gender.Edited by Sheila Whiteley. London and New York: Routeledge, 1997, 353 pp.Sex, sexuality and articulations of gender are well-established components in the production and performance of popular music. Hence, Sexing the Groove, edited by Sheila Whiteley, is a very welcome addition to this vital and growing area of popular music studies and cultural theory more generally. The collection reflects the reality that studies of gender and sexuality in popular music are born of a hybrid lineage; accordingly the book approaches its subject from a range of disciplines such as sociology, cultural theory, media studies, sychology and musicology, and as such is a vibrant mix. Despite its relative diversity, the book's structure and progression is fluent and focused.

Recent discussions about Jamaica’s popular music — reggae — have focused on the kinds of images of women that have been created by reggae artists, especially those who focus on “dance hall” reggae. Content analysis is used here to examine the lyrics of thirty five songs created and performed between the mid-1960s and the end of the 1980s in an attempt to determine whether the images of women in reggae lyrics are largely negative and may contribute to norms that foster discrimination against women.
