Yale professor Michael Veal described dub as "the sound of a society tearing itself apart at the seams". His book, "Starship Africa", says that the African diaspora is reflected in dub by the "extensive use of reverberation/delay devices and the fragmentation of the song surface"&nbsp;– he considers dub's use of reverb a "sonic metaphor for the condition of diaspora." Veal wrote that dub creators used echo and reverb to elicit memories of African culture in their listeners.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Veal |first1=Michael |title=Dub: Soundscapes and Shattered Songs in Jamaican Reggae |chapter=8: Starship Africa: The Acoustics of Diaspora and of the Postcolony |publisher=Wesleyan University Press |date=2007 |isbn=978-0819565723}}</ref> King Tubby, Lee Perry, Erroll Thompson, Mad Professor, Jah Shaka, Denis Bovell and Linton Kwesi Johnson influenced rock musicians.
