It's not too often that a story will make a connection between Linda McCartney, The Beastie Boys and The Clash, but this month's film does just that. Welcome to episode 126 of See Hear Podcast. When the average person is asked to name a single important figure in reggae music, they'll most likely say Bob Marley. Without taking away from his importance, reggae's production giant, who helped Marley in his early years, was Lee “Scratch” Perry. For this episode, we look at a 2008 documentary called The Upsetter: The Life and Music of Lee Scratch Perry. He was born in a rural area of Jamaica, but after working on a job to build a road in the western region of the island, he claimed to have found a connection between the sound of the rocks he helped move and the sound of music – sure beats the usual musician story of stealing their sibling's record collection. The film certainly tells a story, but is also more of a character study about Perry. He was a musical innovator being an early innovator in dub reggae. He'd recorded and produced music that was ska and rocksteady reggae, but it's his experiments in dub he's most remembered for. He's also remembered for burning down his beloved music studio because a rubber ball placed on his console had been moved – okay, the story's a little more complex than that. Was he eccentric? Was he a charlatan? Was he really named Pipecock Jackson, and looking to become American president? The film only looks to Perry for discussion, so without other talking heads, we ask if he's a reliable narrator. Kerry, Tim and I discuss Rastafarianism, the link to Sun Ra, sound systems, our connections to reggae music, and the scary connection to Dennis Wilson. Please join us for a fun conversation. You can find the film on Kanopy, but our conversation can be listened to independent of the film.

After a short emergency interlude into Syria, Conflicted Season 5 returns to our exploration of the fascinating land of Ethiopia. Moving now to the 20th century, where one man dominated the country: Emperor Haile Selassie, King of Kings. Haile Selassie is a name synonymous with a few things: Ethiopia's age of regal power in the 20th century; being the only African monarch to withstand Western colonialism; and, of course, the religion in Jamaica which reveres him as a god, Rastafarianism. But Haile Selassie himself was actually much more human, more mortal, than all this implies – to look at his life is to understand how the modern Ethiopian state came to be formed, or rather, failed to be formed… In this episode, Thomas and Aimen give us an in depth look at Ethiopia in the 20th century, from Haile Selassie's prophesied birth, to the political machinations that brought him to power, and how he cemented it in this tumultuous time for his country. The wider geopolitics of his reign were fascinating too, which saw Mussolini's fascist Italians invade, Western powers joining to expel them in World War 2, and a period of rule afterwards where Selassie preached African unity while himself conquering neighbouring lands. We'll talk about Selassie in Bath, his resplendent tours throughout Europe, thrilling visits to the League of Nations, and yes, the religion set up in his name to revere him, Rastafarianism.

Dr. Adam Francisco, author, “One God, Many Gods” One God, Many Gods The post Christianity and Other World Religions: New Age, Satanism and Rastafarianism – Dr. Adam Francisco, 12/16/24 (3512) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

So you'd like to know if any of the Wailers played with Bob Marley? What happened to the Wailers after Bob's death?How many songs did the group have? And what was Bob Marley's biggest hit? We answer all of these questions and more in this episode. Bob Marley was born in 1945, in Saint Ann, Jamaica. His father was a Jamaican of English descent. His mother was a black teenager. Bob started his career with the Wailers, a group he formed with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston in 1963. Marley married Rita Marley in 1966, and it was she who introduced him to Rastafarianism. By '69 Bob, Tosh and Livingston had fully embraced Rastafarianism, which greatly influenced not only Marley's music but reggae music in general. It didn't take long for Bob Marley's music to come to the attention of Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records. Chris immediately signed the Wailers and produced their first album, "Catch a Fire". This was followed by "Burnin'", featuring tracks as "Get Up Stand Up" and "I Shot the Sheriff." Eric Clapton's cover of that song reached #1 in the US. In 1974 Tosh and Livingston left the Wailers to start solo careers. Marley later formed the band "Bob Marley and the Wailers", with his wife Rita as one of three backup singers called the I-Trees. This period saw the release of some groundbreaking albums, such as "Natty Dread" and "Rastaman Vibration".In 1976, during a period of spiraling political violence in Jamaica, an attempt was made on Marley's life. Marley left for England, where he lived in self-exile for two years. In England "Exodus" was produced, and it remained on the British charts for 56 straight weeks. This was followed by another successful album, "Kaya." These successes introduced reggae music to the western world for the first time, and established the beginning of Marley's international status.In 1977 Marley consulted with a doctor when a wound in his big toe would not heal. More tests revealed malignant melanoma. He refused to have his toe amputated as his doctors recommended, claiming it contradicted his Rastafarian beliefs. Others, however, claim that the main reason behind his refusal was the possible negative impact on his dancing skills. The cancer was kept secret from the general public while Bob continued working.Returning to Jamaica in 78, he continued work and released "Survival" in 1979 which was followed by a successful European tour. In 1980 he was the only foreign artist to participated in the independence ceremony of Zimbabwe. It was a time of great success for Marley, and he started an American tour to reach blacks in the US. He played two shows at Madison Square Garden, but collapsed while jogging in NYC's Central Park in 1980. The cancer diagnosed earlier had spread to his brain, lungs and stomach. Bob Marley died in a Miami hospital on May 11, 1981. He was 36 years old. This week we are joined by one of the original Wailers, Al Anderson - an American guitarist who became Bob's closest and most trusted friend. Bob had asked Al to make sure that his beloved music transcended his death and Al has obliged him all these years. Today, Al Anderson leads the group called The Original Wailers and their constant touring ensures that audiences everywhere still know and enjoy the incredible music of Bob Marley. For more information about Bob and the Wailers head to the website https://www.bobmarley.com/ I really hope you enjoy the story of Reggae's founder - Bob Marley.

This week we welcome reggae royalty to the show with guitarist Junior Marvin! If you can believe it - on the same day in 1977, Junior was offered jobs playing with Stevie Wonder AND Bob Marley! Which would you choose? He decided to go with Bob and it changed the rest of his life. After Bob's death a few years later, Junior focused on session work and solo albums while also touring with the Wailers to keep the One Love spirit alive. He recently released a brand new solo album called Happy Family. We discuss the whole journey, including what makes Bob the icon he is today, the songs he wrote (and didn't get paid for), what Rastafarianism means to him, the new Bob movie, and more.

Reggae #music is one of Jamaica's most distinctive and influential cultural exports. It emerged in the late #1960s as a fusion of ska, rocksteady, and Rastafarianism, and soon became a global phenomenon that inspired countless artists and genres. Some of the greatest reggae hits from the past are songs that reflect the social, political, and spiritual realities of #Jamaica, as well as the joy and resilience of its people. These songs include Bob #Marley's "One Love", which is a universal anthem of peace and unity; #Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come", which is a defiant statement of survival and resistance; Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey", which is a tribute to the national hero and pan-Africanist leader; and Toots and the Maytals' "Sweet and Dandy", which is a celebration of rural life and culture. These songs and many others have shaped the history and identity of Jamaica, and have influenced generations of musicians and listeners around the world.

This culminates the Lecture exploring the changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs at Jamaica Theological Seminary on July 23, 2023. Renaldo provided a powerful climax to the lecture exploring Caribbean Theology and the need to value Caribbean traditions of any influence. The Lecture delivered via the Zoom platform was dynamic and is infused with African drums, reggae music, and classical music in the backgrounds with added images and videos in the background to enhance your listening/viewing experience. Prof. McKenzie discusses with his class the importance and parameters of the study that is being conducted. Abstract: Research Plan: On Valuing African Identity through religious affirmations of African traditions. By examining changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs in Jamaica, this study aims to shed light on the impact of socio-political factors, religion, education, pop culture, travel experiences, and exposure on the evolving perceptions of Jamaicans. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of how societal changes influence cultural attitudes, promoting inclusivity, tolerance, and cultural heritage preservation. Ultimately, this research aims to encourage a more informed and respectful dialogue surrounding Afro-Caribbean beliefs in Jamaican society. Note: See attachment for Research Rationale in a proposal document. Introduction: Title: Exploring Changing Attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica: A Study of Socio-Political, Religious, and Cultural Influences Introduction In Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing. This study aims to explore the shifting attitudes of Jamaicans and the factors contributing to these changes, considering demographics....The full study is available at ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372364213_Exploring_Changing_Attitudes_towards_Afro-Caribbean_Beliefs_in_JamaicaCaribbean_A_Study_of_Socio-Political_Religious_and_Cultural_Influences Renaldo McKenzie is an Adjunct Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary and has Lectured several courses including Caribbean Theology and Caribbean Thought, Apologetics, Christian History and Discipleship and Evangelism.

What is Critical Thinking, and why is it essential to the reflection in Caribbean Thought? This week's lecture Topic: Conceptualizing the Course: Critical Thinking and its importance to studying the Caribbean. Consider: A. What Is the Caribbean, and What is the socio-economic context? The Caribbean is an invention of the 20th century? Dependency, Uncompetitive, Developing, Paradise, Poverty, Black and Brown, “Prenetratable”. B. Where is the Caribbean, and are the Caribbean People American? Part of the “New World” C. What is Critical Thinking and how is it important to studying Caribbean Thought? Caribbean as an Invention. D. Do we have any Urban Indian Heritages in the Caribbean? Challenges Arawak to Africans thought. (Renaldo McKenzie, “Have we Misunderstood Our Heritage?” Important Topics/Contributors 1. Immigration 2. Critical Thinking – Today's Lecture 3. Subaltern/History from Below 4. Misclassified Urban Indians – UIHS – Have we misunderstood our heritage? 5.

Inequality, Poverty, Penetration, Theology, Technology and Opportunity Critical thinking involves challenging previously accepted truths and beliefs, a process essential in Africology and Pan-African studies that encompasses subaltern, nationalist, and post-colonialist thinking. It is thinking about thinking and rethinking what was previously thought. It promotes thinking around the periphery as against the center, transcends pragmatism, and considers Eurocentric and Afrocentric understanding of truths to digress from ethnocentrism. This form of thinking operates within these domains, aiming for specific goals. It can be likened to iconoclastic thinking, as seen when Plato shifted from the Greek notion of the warrior king to the philosopher king, prompting a reevaluation of the hero archetype. Furthermore, critical thinking within these disciplines reimagines individuals through the lens of critical race theory. Critical thinking is a widely accepted educational objective characterized by careful, goal-directed thought. While its definition may vary, it generally involves considering beliefs and knowledge critically, evaluating evidence, and drawing reasoned conclusions. John Dewey, an early advocate, described it as active, persistent consideration of beliefs in light of supporting evidence and potential findings. Over time, standardized tests have been developed to assess critical thinking abilities, with educational interventions shown to enhance them through methods like dialogue and mentoring (Critical Thinking (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/cr.... The term 'critical thinking' as an educational objective traces back to the American philosopher John Dewey (1910), who often referred to it as 'reflective thinking'. Dewey defined it as the active, persistent, and meticulous examination of any belief or purported form of knowledge in light of the supporting evidence and the potential conclusions it leads to. He associated this habit of examination with a scientific mindset. Historically, critical thinking gained prominence in the 1930s through initiatives like the Eight-Year Study of the Progressive Education Association, which integrated critical thinking into educational goals. Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive objectives further incorporated critical thinking abilities. Since then, annual conferences and educational reforms worldwide have emphasized its importance, leading to its global inclusion in curricula and assessments. This led to the development of nationalist movements and Afrocentric religions such as Rastafarianism. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theneoliberal/support

Born in Jamaica to a father who belonged to the 'strictest and most radical sect of Rastafari', Safiya Sinclair was made to wear dreadlocks and subjugated from a young age. She was forbidden from climbing trees, riding a bike, wearing trousers, and told her virtue was in her silence and submission. Rastas were ostracised in Jamaica and Safiya's dreadlocks came to define her. In her isolation, Safiya's only refuge was when her mum introduced her to literature and poetry, which changed the trajectory of her life. Now a writer and Associate Professor of creative writing at Arizona University, Safiya has written an astonishing memoir ‘How To Say Babylon'. Already tipped to be one of the books of the year, Safiya shines a light on the female experience of this particular sect of Rastafarianism, juxtaposing her harrowing experiences with the use of luscious and beautiful prose. The writer Marlon James said of How To Say Babylon; “ To read it is to believe that words can save.”Here, in a truly captivating conversation, Safiya talks Annie through her changes.You can find out more about Safiya and the 'How To Say Babylon' and buy a copy here: https://safiyasinclair.com/home-how-to-say-babylonChanges is a deaf friendly podcast, transcripts can be accessed here: https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes Hosted on Acast.

Jah'Mila is a

Religion is a mess. Can't we just consolidate the roughly four-thousand-two-hundred-plus doctrines of belief into one handy little guidebook that reflects something like the Ten Commandments and call it a day? And if it pisses you off, we don't even have to call it the Ten Commandments. I don't care what you call it, just don't call me late for dinner. Because when you think about it, all denominations pretty much preach the same thing. And those tenets are to simply believe in a higher power, honor that higher power, practice good faith, and get rewarded with 72 virgins...or at least one soulmate. I mean, everyone's paradise sounds so God damn appealing that I'm feeling uncertain about which stairway leads to heaven. And it's becoming a bitch pulling the trigger on which lord almighty best suits my lifestyle. I don't want to pick the wrong one because this is an eternity in hell we're talking about and I hear the air conditioning units are old and squeaky. And it's a good thing temperature rises because then melting the polar caps will make things much cooler down there.  I'm just an imperfect person trying to make the perfect choice. Maybe it's like this. Maybe you go to the heaven that represents the deity you choose to worship, which means there are up to twelve thousand different versions of heaven. Wouldn't that be divine? Because then there is no wrong choice. Anyway, I guess I better pick my horse while I still have time to place a wager. I could be swept away by the angels at any given moment, and I sure as hell don't want to miss my boat across the river Styx. Ok, I think I've made my choice. I choose Rastafarianism. Does this mean I will get to smoke with Bob?

Prof. Renaldo McKenzie delivered a powerful final Lecture in Caribbean Thought that was climactic at Jamaica Theological Seminary, exploring Walter Rodney's Struggle for Democracy in Guyana exploring how this struggle for democracy and independence continues even today throughout postcolonial countries of the global south. Rev. McKenzie explained that Walter Rodney, a renowned historian and socialist from Guyana, was not only known for his academic work but also as a political leader. He was an active member of the Working People's Alliance (WPA) and a critic of the authoritarian Forbes Burnham dictatorship. Burnham, though claiming to be socialist, maintained a repressive regime in Guyana and had friendly ties with the United States. He held power through rigged elections and suppression of opposition parties and trade unions. Rodney, aware of the risks, chose to work within Guyana to bring about change. He was assassinated in 1980, drawing international condemnation from figures like Michael Manley, Maurice Bishop, and Fidel Castro. In his essay, written before his death, Rodney analyzed the nature of the Burnham dictatorship, exposing its corruption, incompetence, and tactics for consolidating power. He criticized the regime's personality cult and its attempts to appear as a democracy while suppressing fundamental rights. Renaldo raised and expounded on questions that Mr. Rodney seem to be answering in his Essay via Jacobin magazine: 1. Question: How can the working class challenge the Burnham dictatorship and assert its power? 2. Question: What is the significance of civil disobedience and non-cooperation in the struggle for liberation? 3. Question: How can national unity be achieved in Guyana, given its diverse racial and class divisions? 4. Question: What is the alternative to the Burnham dictatorship, and how can the people reclaim their rights and restore democracy? 5. Question: How can resistance be sustained against the violence and intimidation of the dictatorship? Prof. McKenzie concluded this section of the Lecture with a summary, "Rodney's essay explores essential questions related to working-class power, national unity, and the path towards liberation in Guyana. His answers highlight the historical lessons of collective labor actions, civil disobedience, and the need for a government of national unity as a clear alternative to the oppressive dictatorship. He calls for a united and determined effort to reclaim democracy and build a just and equitable society for all Guyanese." Part 2 of the Lecture: Afro-Caribbean Beliefs: Prof. McKenzie then shifts gears to explore Afro-Caribbean Beliefs in Jamaica and to discuss a study that the class will be embarking on to ascertain how Caribbean people's attitudes towards their Afro-Caribbean Beliefs are changing. Rev. McKenzie discussed Afro Caribbean Beliefs especially those in Jamaica: According to Rev. McKenzie, "in Jamaica, there has historically been a negative perception towards African and indigenous spiritual practices, religious beliefs, customs, and faiths that draw influences from Urban Indian Heritage or African traditions. Rastafarianism, Obeah, Voodoo, Pocomania or pocco church, revivalists, and Muslim beliefs have often been marginalized, deemed as fringe, demonic, and unpopular, juxtaposed against the inherited traditions from European colonialism. The Judeo-Christian faith, such as Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and evangelicalism, has been favored and considered closer to the truth and the ideal. However, in the 21st century, with increased exposure, awareness, critical thinking, and a more liberal lifestyle, particularly among the younger generation, it is crucial to investigate whether attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs are changing.

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. (born October 20, 1971), known professionally as Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper and actor. One of the most iconic figures to emerge from the early-'90s G-funk era, Snoop Dogg evolved beyond his gangsta rap beginnings to become a lovable pop culture fixture with forays into television, movies, football coaching, and wrestling while expanding his musical reach far beyond his primary genre. Introduced through Dr. Dre's Top Five rap hit 'Deep Cover' (1992), Snoop quickly became one of the most famous stars in rap, partially due to his drawled, laconic rhyming, as well as the realistic violence implied in his lyrics. In 2012 Snoop converted to Rastafarianism and officially changed his stage name for the first time in 14 years to Snoop Lion. He released an album and a documentary under this name before changing his name once again only one year later in 2013. In this episode a playlist of songs created by Snoop during his Snoop Lion period, and published in a popular music streaming platform (that shall remain unnamed) between July 2012 and February 2013. Lineup: Snoop Lion, Peter Tosh, John Benitez, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, Buju Banton, General Echo, Tenor Saw, Dawn Penn, The Abyssinians, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru

Rastafari, sometimes called Rastafarianism, is a religion that developed in Jamaica during the 1930s. It is classified as both a new religious movement and a social movement by scholars of religion. It was a religious movement among black Jamaicans that teaches the eventual redemption of black people and their return to Africa, employs the ritualistic use of marijuana, forbids the cutting of hair, and venerates Haile Selassie as a god.

Bob Marley was more than a musician. He was a symbol of righteousness in an unjust world. Bob Marley was the first international superstar from the 3rd world. Bob's music brought his country (Jamaica) and his religion (Rastafarianism) to the world in a way that had never been done before.

In this week's episode Tim and Jeremy focus on the early life and work of Bob Marley & The Wailers. They explore the role Marley and the group played in bringing Reggae to the world, with the singer becoming a singular and ubiquitous figure in culture in the process. Beginning with their first Ska singles from the mid-'60s, we hear how the original 1965 recording of One Love articulated a nascent form of philosophical universalism, with love as a political virtue to overcome difference. We also follow Marley on his journey towards Rastafarianism, and reintroduce Island Records' Chris Blackwell to the show. Tim and Jeremy discuss the powerful, dub-inflected production of the Wailers' second album Soul Rebels, consider the anti-imperialism of rootsyness, and explore the recording and marketing of their follow up, Catch A Fire. We'll be back in a fortnight with part two of our deep dive on Marley. One Love. Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert are authors, academics, DJs and audiophile dance party organisers.

In this week's episode Jeremy and Tim move through the late 20th century to trace dub's echoing influence on Disco, Post-Punk, early House and the music of the British Rave scene. Dub's aesthetics of space, minimalism, and bass-centric production are revealed on the New York dancefloor through the early remix experiments of Walter Gibbons and the studio work of Francois K, as well as in the punk clubs of London and the after-party living rooms of late '80s ravers. Tim and Jeremy consider how the Clash came to lean heavily on their fascination with Dub and Rastafarianism; how Reggae as a musical vocabulary was repeatedly drawn on for distinctly Feminist musical projects with explicitly experimental aims; and spend some time discussing one of UK music's most singular figures, Andrew Weatherall.

Episode 96 Notes and Links to Frank Guridy's Work           On Episode 96 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete welcomes Dr. Frank A. Guridy, and the two discuss, among other topics, his childhood in New York City and his early love of history, fostered by his parents and directly and indirectly based on his family's immigration stories, his early and lasting introductions to influential writers and professors, as well as his book on African diasporas and connections to Cuba. The two spend the bulk of the interview discussing Frank's latest book on Texas and its “sports revolution.”       Frank A. Guridy specializes in sport history, urban history, and the history of American social movements. His recent book, The Sports Revolution: How Texas Changed the Culture of American Athletics (University of Texas Press, 2021) explores how Texas-based sports entrepreneurs and athletes from marginalized backgrounds transformed American sporting culture during the 1960s and 1970s, the highpoint of the Black Freedom and Second-Wave feminist movements. His first book, Forging Diaspora: Afro-Cubans and African Americans in a World of Empire and Jim Crow (University of North Carolina Press, 2010), won the Elsa Goveia Book Prize from the Association of Caribbean Historians and the Wesley-Logan Book Prize, conferred by the American Historical Association. He is also the co-editor of Beyond el Barrio: Everyday Life in Latino/a America (NYU Press, 2010), with Gina Pérez and Adrian Burgos, Jr. His articles have appeared in Kalfou, Radical History Review, Caribbean Studies, Social Text, and Cuban Studies. His fellowships and awards include the Scholar in Residence Fellowship at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Ray A. Billington Professorship in American History at Occidental College and the Huntington Library. He is also an award-winning teacher, receiving the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award from the University of Texas at Austin, and, more recently, the Mark Van Doren Award for Teaching at Columbia. His current book project, Between Conflict and Community: The Stadium in American Life, tells the story of the American stadium as a community institution that has been a battleground for social justice since its inception.

Reggae music and spirituality go hand-in-hand. The music has always been a source of storytelling, inspiration and motivation; which contributes to its mass appeal of a global audience. While “Good Vibes Only” is a great hashtag on social media, it's real foundation is rooted in the admiration of the simplistic, laid back connection Reggae has on the world by the experience people feel listening to Reggae music.  In this episode I'm sharing my personal connection to Reggae on a spiritual level. Inspired by my attendance of Sizzla's listening session for his upcoming album On a High, where his elderly wisdom and connection to community reminded me of how much his earlier albums inspired me as an adolescent coming into my own spiritual journey. I talk about my love for Reggae's lyrics and riddims over gospel, connection with Rastafarianism, how I experienced Reggae in Dancehall spaces and more. I also mention a Strictly Facts episode on Caribbean Religions, make sure you check that out too. Stay connected to Style & VibesKeep up here:  Website |  NewsletterLet's talk here:  Twitter |  Instagram |  FacebookExecutive Produced by Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown of  Breadfruit MediaSupport the show (https://glow.fm/thestylevibesandpodcast/)

Jah Kingdom: Rastafarians, Tanzania, and Pan-Africanism in the Age of Decolonization (UNC Press, 2017), examines Rastafarian repatriation to Tanzania in the 1970s and 1980s. In doing so, Monique A. Bedasse situates Rastafarianism's connection to black radical politics and internationalism within Tanzania, the site for pan-African solidarity in independent Africa after 1966. In doing so, she reveals the ways various state and non-state actors such as Michael Manley and CLR James helped to shape the process of Rastafarian repatriation.

Reggae is deeply linked to the Rastafari, an Afrocentric religion which developed in Jamaica in the 1930s, aiming at promoting Pan Africanism Soon after the Rastafarian movement appeared, the international popularity of reggae music became associated with and increased the visibility of Rastafarianism spreading the Rastafari gospel throughout the world.[8] Reggae music is an important means of transporting vital messages of #Rastafarianism. The musician becomes the messenger, and as Rastafarians see it," the soldier and the musician are tools for change.

Reggae is characterized by a heavy backbeat rhythm, meaning the emphasis of the beat is on, for example, beats 2 and 4, when the song is in 4/4 time. This backbeat is characteristic of all African-based musical styles and is not found in traditional European or Asian music. Reggae drummers also emphasize the third beat when in 4/4 time with a kick to the bass drum. Rastafarianism Rastafarianism is a religion and social movement established in Jamaica in the 1930s. It is characterized as an Abrahamic system of belief, in that its adherents claim their faith has it origins in the practices of ancient Israelites, who worshipped the "God of Abraham." Many of the world's most famous reggae musicians practice this religion, and therefore many reggae lyrics reflect the beliefs and traditions of Rastafarianism.
