Greg,

I believe we are talking about the same book as I see that the "Black Music of Two Worlds" book I mentioned is a Second Edition.

That book have a chapter on The Caribbean..It's a very interesting, easy to read book! Highly recommended!!

And since you mentioned Caribbean culture- here's some other books that you might be interested in:

Chris Potash; "Reggae, Rasta, Revolution-Jamaican Music from Ska to
               Dub"; New York, Simon & Schuster Macmillan, 1997

Mervyn Alleyne, "Africa: Roots of Jamaican Culture"; Chicago;
                Research Associates School Times Publications, 1996

Shiela Walker, editor; "African Roots/American Culture: Africa in the
               Creation of the Americas"; Lanham,Maryland; Rowman &
               Littlefield Publishers, 2001

Steve Barrow,
Peter Dalton, "The Rough Guide to Jamaican Music from
               Ska Through Roots to Ragga"; London;
               Rough Guides; 2001

Simon Broughton,
Mark Ellington; "World Music-Latin and North
                America, Caribbean,India, Asia, and the Pacific,
                Volume 2 of the new edition, an A-Z of the Music,
                Musicians, and Disc; London; The Rough Guide; 2000



Enjoy!!
