Abstract
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.
