King Short Shirt: Nobody Go Run Me : The Life and Times of Sir MacLean Emanuel

This important biography of Antigua's greatest calypsonian is also an in-depth study of the culture and socio-political history of Antigua and Barbuda, as well as the wider Caribbean. The traditional 'Caribbean song' and its creators are treated with dignity and deep appreciation. The result is an essential and long overdue addition to the study of calypso.
