Making a point to read

Following up on my last post I want to learn even more about Reggae specifically as a Caribbean artistic entity. Jamaica, through reggae, has exerted a force in global music only achieved by the UK and USA. Here are some books I'd like to make a point of reading in the future.
Reggae, Rastafari, and the Rhetoric of Social ControlThis Is Reggae Music: The Story of Jamaica's MusicReggae and Caribbean Music: Third Ear: The Essential Listening CompanionReggae Routes Pb

This of course is not an exhaustive list but a good starting point to reference. If you see any of these books, buy two and send me one :). Click the book covers to go to a more complete description of each title.
