Description

The Rastafarians Twentieth Anniversary Edition by Leonard Barrett and Leonard E. Barrett is a comprehensive study of the history and beliefs of this influential Caribbean movement. Based on extensive research, the book explores the roots of Rastafarianism in 17th-century Jamaica, where it emerged as a response to slavery and colonialism. This important work provides valuable insights into the sociology of religion and the diverse religious expressions that have developed during the West African Diaspora in the Western Hemisphere. By examining the ideology, history, and influence of Rastafarians in Jamaica, Barrett sheds light on a significant aspect of Caribbean culture and identity. With 320 pages of detailed analysis and research, The Rastafarians Twentieth Anniversary Edition is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding this complex and multifaceted movement.
