Jean 'Binta' Breeze : multiculturalism and meta-dub poetry

الملخص EN

This paper which is entitled “Jean 'Binta' Breeze : Multiculturalism and Meta-Dub Poetry” focuses on Breeze (1957 -), as the originator of what is known as “Women‟s domestic dub” which criticizes the racially marginalized status of black women.

She has contributed a new poetic genre known as “meta-dub”, which is free from the reggae rhythm.

Nancy of the Maroons is a Jamaican warrior whose struggle against post-colonialism and slavery is portrayed in Breeze‟s dub poetry.

The spirit of black feminism in the 1970s and 1980s encouraged Jean „Binta‟ Breeze to develop African rhyming beats such as calypso, quadrille, mento and European folk songs.
