Calypso music is an integral part of Trinidad's national identity. But in a nation as diverse as Trinidad, why is it that calypso has emerged as the emblematic music? This book examines conditions that have enabled calypso to be valorized, contested, and targeted as a field of cultural politics in Trinidad.
