Download or read book Chanting Down Babylon written by Nathaniel Samuel Murrell and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology explores Rastafari religion, culture, and politics in Jamaica and other parts of the African diaspora. An Afro-Caribbean religious and cultural movement that sprang from the streets of Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1930s, today Rastafari has close to one million adherents. The basic message of Rastafari—the dismantling of all oppressive institutions and the liberation of humankind—even has strong appeal to non-believers who are captivated by reggae music, the lyrics, and the "immortal spirit" of its enormously popular practitioner, Bob Marley. Probing into Rastafari's still evolving belief system, political goals, and cultural expression, the contributors to this volume emphasize the importance of Africana history and the Caribbean context.

Download or read book The Holy Piby written by Robert Athlyi Rogers and published by The Floating Press. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1920s, Robert Athlyi Rogers founded the Afro-Athlican Constructive Gaathly religion in the West Indies. He wrote The Holy Piby as a guiding text, seeing Ethiopians - in the classical meaning of all Africans - as God's chosen people, and he preached self-determination and self-reliance. The Holy Piby is a major source of influence to the Rastafarian faith, which holds Haile Selassie I as Christ, and Marcus Garvey as his prophet. The Holy Piby consists of four books, and the seventh chapter of the second book identifies Marcus Garvey as one of three apostles of God. Original copies are extremely rare, and it is not even listed in the Library of Congress. The text was banned in Jamaica and many other Caribbean Islands until the late 1920s.

Download or read book Seventy Years Accomplished written by Omar TobiJah and published by Divine Child Publications. This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reign of Emperor Haile Selassie I chartered a new era of consciousness. His Imperial Majesty worked incessantly to stem colonialism and was effective in raising the standards of international law and morality. Any trustworthy historian would conclude that if the nations would have followed his sound counsel then World War II could have been avoided because he gave the proper instructions on how to improve the lot of all humanity. Yet to conclude that he is the Savior is baffling to some due to their adherence to old world ideologies which have been counteractive in liberating humanity. This book, "Seventy Years Accomplished," will affirm the objective truth about His Imperial Majesty as well as repudiate the slanderous propaganda surrounding the Emperor that robs the people of their salvation.
