During the 80’s, Beth edited and published Reggae Quarterly Magazine the first international reggae publication to focus on Dancehall style music. In 1989, Ms Lesser was asked to write what became the first book to examine the digital revolution in Jamaican music, King Jammys, published by Black Star in Finland. An expanded edition was later published by ECW Press, Toronto, Canada, in 2002. A few years later, in 2008, Soul Jazz, published Ms Lesser’s Dance Hall: The Rise of Dance Hall Culture. Ms. Lesser’s next book, The Legend of Sugar Minott (Muziktree 2011), told the story of recently deceased reggae singer Lincoln “Sugar’ Minott and his struggles to support the young artists with his Youth Promotion organization. In addition, Ms Lesser’s photos have appeared in magazines and newspapers around the world as well as on CD/ albums covers and in documentary movies.
