In 2008, a new style in Jamaican dancehall music and dance culture known as "Daggering" emerged. Daggering music and dancing, which included lyrics that graphically referred to sexual activities and a dance which has been described as "dry sex" on the dance floor, took Jamaica by storm. The Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica was forced to crack down on broadcasting and cable stations preventing them from playing any Daggering content. This article focuses on the subsequent clash between the government and the dancehall, and seeks to identify an appropriate method for monitoring and enforcing these new standards.

Viewed on 29 January, 2008. "Mariposas amarillas y 80 salvas de cañón en Aracataca, su Macondo íntimo; estruendo alegre de mariachis en su casa del Pedregal de San Angel, donde Gabriel García Márquez se refugió durante este martes en su cumpleaños 80."
263 p., Focuses on the writing and thinking of W.E.B. Du Bois and Zora Neale Hurston in order to explore the continuing effects of the legacy of enslavement as well as question the need for entre nous black spaces in the twenty-first century. In pairing Du Bois with Hurston, the author considers the difficulties of entre nous speaking along generational lines, gender differences, and regional affiliations. Though their writing and speaking differed, as scholars and artists they resisted the demands of the minstrel mask to produce a body of work that subverted dominant culture's devaluation of black folk responses to ongoing racial terror and dehumanization. Hurston and Du Bois did this while trying to conceptualize what a black "us" in the United States and in the black diaspora in the Americas entailed and what, if anything, exists between the "us."

"Bercht en 'Los negocios del señor Junio César' nos decía que los grandes hombres se han esforzado siempre por ocultar el verdadero móvil de sus actos. Sin lugar a dudas, Julio César era un gran hombre, y quizás por esta razón García Márquez habría de afirmar que aprendió mucho de él, esto es, que aprehendió los modos de actuación que adoptó su fascinante delirio de dictador. García Márquez hubiera quierido crear un personaje como el Julio César en la literatura (1), pero Roma no es el Caribe y sus dictafores no son [grandes hombres]. Lo único que permanece invariable en ambos casos es el enigma del poder, su delirio. Entonces, la pregunta se precipita: por quéno se cuentan siempre las mismas historias del mismo modo?"

Bradu says that García Márquez has become the best imitator of himself; Del amor y otros demonios is a brief summary of rhetorical and identifiable figures that the reader could suspect to be a plagiarism if it weren't for its genius inventor.
