Jah Rastafari
Reggae | Friday 6th July 2012 | Osh
Reggae music has always gone hand in hand with Rastafarianism. But across the world, do people who listen to reggae music really follow or fully understand the beliefs of Rastafari as well?
This book written by the respected Jamaican author Barbara Makeda Blake Hannah is a good way for people who want to learn more about what actually lies behind this religious movement / lifestyle from the view point of someone who is a member of the faith. Originally published in 1980, this 7th edition contains revised text with chapters on Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Ethiopia and the Bible plus explanations on Rastafari views on the divinity of Emperor Haile Selassie I, the use of the Ganja Sacrament and the call for Reparations and Repatriation. There are also for the first time colour photos depicting Ethiopian Kwerata Re’esu (Christ with the Crown of Thorns), Emperor Haile Selassie, the Black Madonna and Bob Marley.
