That’s how many sexual-abuse incidents involving members of the United States military were estimated to have occurred in 2012, according to the Pentagon. It is a number as astounding as it is outrageous. 26,000 is too many. 2,600 would be too many. 260 would be too many. 26 would be too many. And as horrifying as that 26,000 number — up from 19,000 the previous year — is, the truly frightening thing is a study by the Defense Department shows a climate of fear permeating our armed forces. The study, relying on anonymous surveys, revealed that “only” 3,192 assaults in 2011 and 3,374 last year were reported. We are torn between the pride we feel in the immense sacrifice and dedication of what is often described as the finest military ever assembled and the obvious current culture of “anything goes” and looking the other way when it comes to sexual assault. An embarrassing metaphor for the overall situation came earlier this month when Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski was charged with sexual battery for — police said — groping a woman in an Arlington, Va., parking lot. Lt. Col. Krusinski is the person in charge of the United States Air Force’s sexual assault prevention and response program. President Barack Obama — under whose watch this intolerable situa- tion is occurring, and growing — appears to be fed up. “Let’s start with the principle that sexual assault is an outrage,” Obama said. “It is a crime. That’s true for society at large. And if it’s happening in- side our military, then whoever carries it out is betraying the uniform that they’re wearing. “I don’t want just more speeches or awareness programs or training but, ultimately, folks look the other way,” he said. “If we find out somebody is engaging in this stuff, they’ve got to be held accountable — prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged. Period. It’s not acceptable.” New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate’s Armed Ser- vices Committee, has been in the forefront of those calling for a solution. Earlier this month she attended a White House conference to address the obscene statistics. A good first step would be changing the “convening authority” law that allows a senior officer who called for a court-martial to throw out the ver- dict in any case of sexual assault without even providing a reason. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel proposed that change last week. It’s more than apparent that a sea change is required in the culture of our military.

So here’s the first issue, of the first roots reggae magazine, for the Thames Valley region. It’s envisaged as a quarterly production, focusing on Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. As well as a channel for roots reggae music, I hope this publication will also be a source of knowledge for Black History – and a showcase for local and regional talents: the poets, artists, writers and budding journalists. Salutes go to Gary Constant, Helen Baillie, Dan I Cameron and John Green: for the early boost they gave this initiative - the Dub Visionaries!

King During the 1970s, the Jamaican people appeared to rise “up in rebellion and revolt to . improve their social conditions” (Panton 31). After a decade of struggle against an increasingly repressive Jamaican Labour Party (JLP), Jamaica’s poor and dissident groups embraced the candidacy of People’s National Party (PNP) leader Michael Manley, the son of former Prime Minister Norman Manley, for Prime Minister in 1972. During the national election campaign, Manley attempted to appeal to the Rastafarians and Jamaica’s Black Power movement. Manley even adopted the Biblical name “Joshua” and promised the Jamaican people deliverance from oppression.

  • The Dub Issue 23 April 2018
    1 2 Editorial Dub Front cover – Queen Ifrica – photograph of an original painting by Haile Mecael Dear Reader, Welcome to issue 23 for the month of Reuben. A sad month for many of us here in Oxford with the passing from prostate cancer on March 28 of Ras Brother John aka BJ, who featured on the cover of The Dub’s January 2018 issue. He will be much missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and close friends. There are several interviews this month: Alex Caramellino aka Jah Fingers, GT Moore and Gary Constant with the first part of an interview that digs deep into Oxford’s sound system history of the early 70s. There will be more interviews with others who have been involved in our town’s reggae history in future issues. There are lots of events in this month’s Dub Diary featuring friends and contributors to The Dub, including Asher Messenjah, Jah Lion Movement, Field Frequency, Ali Zion and High Grade. I would like to offer a heartfelt salute to those who continue to write for The Dub and support the magazine in other ways – Steve Mosco, Pete Clack, Leo B, Ali Zion, Simon Wade, Jawara Ellis, Jah Porter, Zioness, Lew Lewis M, Asher Messenjah, Jules Dalitz and Natty Mark. Welcome to The Dub Editor – Dan-I [email protected] The Dub magazine is not funded and has no sponsors. While this allows for artistic freedom, it also means that money for printing is very limited. If anyone is interested in printed copies, they should contact me directly and I can ask our printers, Parchment of Oxford, to get some of the issues required for the cost of £2 each.

Growing up in Jamaica, he witnessed the boom of West Indian literature in the 1950s and also the social changes brought on by Independence in 1962. He studied abroad at Oxford for three years on a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship and returned to Jamaica in 1961, devoting the rest of his career to teaching. From 1970 to 2002, Morris was professor of West Indian Literature at the University of the West Indies (uwi), Mona, where he also taught Creative Writing.

In 2014, he was named the first Poet Laureate of Jamaica since Independence, a title he held until 2017. Morris’ poetry deals with social concerns in post-Independence Jamaica without explicitly raising political banners, cultivating a poetics that critically examines the status quo through different literary devices, such as vernacular language and irony.

Public school and college level music education programs in particular have provided the opportunity for students to have an early exposure to music and to pursue a career in music. However, the multitude of opportunities to study and pursue music did not always exist in Jamaica. The goal of this study is to examine the history of music education in Jamaica with particular focus on such influences as British colonialism, the African Diaspora, Jamaican folk music and Jamaican popular music.

  • The Skatalites
    The Skatalites A mediados de los años 50, la productiva industria musical jamaicana alumbró un nuevo estilo. Se bautizó como ska. Nacido de la fusión del Boogie-Woogie Blues, el R\'n\'B, el Jazz, más el Mento, Calypso y los ritmos africanos, puede afirmarse que el ska fue el primer estilo musical verdaderamente jamaicano. En los años 60 todos los vocalistas del país se agolpaban en los estudios de grabación para grabar sus canciones con este nuevo e infeccioso ritmo. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Toots and The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe son sólo algunos de los nombres que usaron este estilo, que además coincidía con un momento de máxima excitación en la isla, fruto de su independencia en 1962. Poco después, los músicos de todas estas sesiones de estudio vieron la oportunidad de extender esta música al directo. Entre ellos, Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso, Johnny Moore, Lester Sterling, Don Drummond, Lloyd Knibb, Lloyd Brevett, Jerry Haynes y Jackie Mittoo, quienes empezaron a trabajar juntos en 1963 para acabar formando la banda Skatalites en 1964. Y aquel mismo año, publicaron su primer disco en Studio One, Ska Authentic, acompañado de una gira por la isla como creadores del ska. Tomaron las radios del país y a su alrededor circularon figuras como Clement \'Sir Coxsone\' Dodd, Arthur \'Duke\' Reid o Cecil \'Prince Buster\' Campbell, además de futuras promesas a las que ayudaron como, Desmond Dekker, The Wailers o Lee Perry. Cuarenta y seisaños después, con los originales Lester Sterling (saxo) y Lloyd Knibb (batería) aún al frente, apoyados por sus primeros y más aventajados discípulos de los sesenta tales como Vin Gordon (trombón) y Cedric Brooks (saxo), llenos de experiencia y con una inmensa discografía tras ellos, una nueva visita al país de The Skatalites sólo puede agradecerse.
