Focusing on reggae and dancehall culture, the book analyzes West Indian migration to Costa Rica and Brooklyn, exploring themes of diaspora, queerness, and Blackness. It uses reggae/dancehall as an ethnographic lens to reveal unique forms of resistance and the negotiation of gender and sexuality within the community. Additionally, the author highlights the establishment of informal cultural institutions that maintain transnational connections, providing a rich understanding of Caribbean cultural subjectivity in contemporary contexts.
