Produktbeschreibung
Dread Rastafari and Ethiopia - The definitive historical report of the beginning and the rise of the Rastafari movement in the Commonwealth of Dominica, is a comprehensive historical account of the Rastafari movement in Dominica, exploring its emergence, struggles, and evolution within the broader context of Caribbean history, African consciousness, and global Rastafari identity. It sheds light on key events, personalities, and socio-political dynamics that shaped the movement, including the turbulent "Dread Act" era, government crackdowns, landmark legal battles, and the influence of international advocacy on the fate of imprisoned Rastas. Through archival research, personal interviews, and historical analysis, the book reconstructs the stories of figures such as Eric Joseph and Kabinda Habre Selassie, whose experiences embody the challenges faced by Rastafari in Dominica. The narrative is enriched by firsthand accounts, newspaper clippings, letters, and legal documents that offer an unfiltered glimpse into the movement's legal and cultural battles. The book also explores the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of Rastafari, highlighting Ethiopia's significance, the repatriation movement, and the persistence of African identity among Dominican Rastafari. Ultimately, Dread Rastafari and Ethiopia provides an authoritative account of a people's struggle for recognition, justice, and self-determination.
