In Music, Media and Adolescent Sexuality in Jamaica, Marcia Forbes has written a delightful text that is of great value to educators at tertiary and secondary level, a must read by parents trying to understand their coming of age offspring in the age of media and sexual overdrive, media personnel, religious bodies and professionals involved in social policy-making. An introduction by the late Professor Barry Chevannes also endorses the value of the book and concurs with my reading that it will impact the debates on the role of music in socialization of young people. Apart from the extensive research carried out for this book—focus group sessions in selected urban and rural parishes and a purposive sampling of adolescents in selected schools in Jamaica—Forbes brings her own rich experience as a media worker herself to bear on this subject (she and her husband started a multi-media production company in Jamaica in the early 1980s called Phase Three Productions).
