Becoming Rasta
Author: Charles Price
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814767680
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
An exploration into why and how Jamaicans become Rastafari in spite of increasing incrimination of the religion So much has been written about the Rastafari, yet we know so little about why and how people join the Rastafari movement. Although popular understandings evoke images of dreadlocks, reggae, and marijuana, Rastafarians were persecuted in their country, becoming a people seeking social justice. Yet new adherents continued to convert to Rastafari despite facing adverse reactions from their fellow citizens and from their British rulers. Charles Price draws on in-depth interviews to reveal the personal experiences of those who adopted the religion in the 1950s to 1970s, one generation past the movement's emergence. By talking with these Rastafari elders, he seeks to understand why and how Jamaicans became Rastafari in spite of rampant discrimination, and what sustains them in their faith and identity. Utilizing new conceptual frameworks, Price explores the identity development of Rastafari, demonstrating how shifts in the movement’s identity—from social pariah to exemplar of Blackness—have led some of the elder Rastafari to adopt, embrace, and internalize Rastafari and blackness as central to their concept of self.

Rastafari and the Arts
Author: Darren J. N. Middleton
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134625030
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Drawing on literary, musical, and visual representations of and by Rastafari, Darren J. N. Middleton provides an introduction to Rasta through the arts, broadly conceived. The religious underpinnings of the Rasta movement are often overshadowed by Rasta’s association with reggae music, dub, and performance poetry. Rastafari and the Arts: An Introduction takes a fresh view of Rasta, considering the relationship between the artistic and religious dimensions of the movement in depth. Middleton’s analysis complements current introductions to Afro-Caribbean religions and offers an engaging example of the role of popular culture in illuminating the beliefs and practices of emerging religions. Recognizing that outsiders as well as insiders have shaped the Rasta movement since its modest beginnings in Jamaica, Middleton includes interviews with members of both groups, including: Ejay Khan, Barbara Makeda Blake Hannah, Geoffrey Philp, Asante Amen, Reggae Rajahs, Benjamin Zephaniah, Monica Haim, Blakk Rasta, Rocky Dawuni, and Marvin D. Sterling.

My Little Garden of Eden
Author: Junior Mendez, PhD
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449073042
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 514
Book Description
Some may read this book and find it straightforward and easy to comprehend, others may read this book with much incredulity and disbelief. This book, "My Little Garden of Eden" was written to enlighten my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, you're my family and friends; we are all sons and daughters of the Most High; this book is for you. It is better to believe and have faith in something, rather than not believe and have faith in nothing. In writing this book, My Little Garden of Eden, Junior Mendez ingeniously distinguishes between his human nature and the nature of his spirit. This book is a twofold autobiography of the spirit man and the fleshly man, one walked by faith and the other walked by sight. The internal spirit nature seeks after love, peace, and service to others, while human nature lust after beauty, pleasure, and material wealth. Through faith and his intellectual awareness of a higher power, Junior Mendez became convinced that the spiritual mind is far superior to the carnal mind. The mind is spiritual, divine and freewill, the mind is susceptible to the influence of spiritual forces. The brain regulates the biological functions of the body, it process complicated emotions, feelings, images and a multiplicity of information simultaneously. The mind conscieve thoughts and immaginations to vision and reason within our faith after hearing or reading the Word of the Sacred Scriptures. Faith brings hopes and dreams of a brighter future. Eeach of us shall experience the end of life in the flesh, but through faith my spirit shall be a child in the kingdom of God. Unlike the brain, the mind is unseen, it cannot be touch or seen by human. Spiritual forces of the natural and supernatural world discreetly influence the conscious and subsconcious mind.
