This anthology explores Rastafari religion, culture, and politics in Jamaica and other parts of the African diaspora.

The basic message of Rastafari the dismantling of all oppressive institutions and the liberation of humankind even has strong appeal to non-believers who are captivated by reggae music, the lyrics, and the immortal spirit of its enormously popular practitioner, Bob Marley.
