Zusammenfassung:This book is a historical study of the Rastafarian movement and its changing relationship with the 'wider' Jamaican society. It is an account of a people's dream of salvation in Zion and their quest for recognition in Babylon, of repeated failures of prophesy and unshakable faith in the power of the Almighty, of unconcealed hatred and growing admiration, of persecution and shrewd political manipulation, an account of a movement's worldwide appeal and its inevitable decline in Jamaica.--Back cover.
