This paper/response MUST be at least 300-350 words.

1) What do you think Gilroy means when he says on page. 228 that Bob Marley became a brand and symbol of resistance and resiliance… and yet he resisted the branding dynamic? How? Why? What do you think?

2) What does Gilroy mean when he says on page. 228 that Marley presents an alternative post-racial identity?

4) What have you learned about the relation between music, critique, politics and culture?

5) In what ways has this article made you think differently about the relation between music and politics, especially in terms of universal notions of citizenship and human rights?

ATTENTION:

I will provide a factoid which you MUST use it in order to relate to the readings I uploaded here (***the article of ‘Could You Be Loved? Bob Marley, anti-politics and universal sufferation’ MUST be used as the source/reference, which means there is NO any outside source needed besides above article) in this response.

Also, please add/address at least TWO quotes with (author last name and page number) from the reading of ‘Could You Be Loved? Bob Marley, anti-politics and universal sufferation’ in the paper as well.
