Book excerpt: This book, Rasta, Babylon, Jamming: The Music and Culture of Roots Culture, has been a long time in coming. In the late 1970s, mainstream publishers didn't want any part of a music that spoke against colonialism, capitalism or social injustice. Viewed as a transcendent resource book, capable of enlightening and informing and providing a point of entry into the musical legacy of Rastafarians. Its message is one of a vital Afrocentric themes and the Rasta doctrine of resistance, political self-determinism and black survival. This is reggae at its best with no gimmicks, pure and unadulterated. This is reggae that belongs to everybody.

Download or read book Babylon East written by Marvin Sterling and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important center of dancehall reggae performance, sound clashes are contests between rival sound systems: groups of emcees, tune selectors, and sound engineers. In World Clash 1999, held in Brooklyn, Mighty Crown, a Japanese sound system and the only non-Jamaican competitor, stunned the international dancehall community by winning the event. In 2002, the Japanese dancer Junko Kudo became the first non-Jamaican to win Jamaica’s National Dancehall Queen Contest. High-profile victories such as these affirmed and invigorated Japan’s enthusiasm for dancehall reggae. In Babylon East, the anthropologist Marvin D. Sterling traces the history of the Japanese embrace of dancehall reggae and other elements of Jamaican culture, including Rastafari, roots reggae, and dub music. Sterling provides a nuanced ethnographic analysis of the ways that many Japanese involved in reggae as musicians and dancers, and those deeply engaged with Rastafari as a spiritual practice, seek to reimagine their lives through Jamaican culture. He considers Japanese performances and representations of Jamaican culture in clubs, competitions, and festivals; on websites; and in song lyrics, music videos, reggae magazines, travel writing, and fiction. He illuminates issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class as he discusses topics ranging from the cultural capital that Japanese dancehall artists amass by immersing themselves in dancehall culture in Jamaica, New York, and England, to the use of Rastafari as a means of critiquing class difference, consumerism, and the colonial pasts of the West and Japan. Encompassing the reactions of Jamaica’s artists to Japanese appropriations of Jamaican culture, as well as the relative positions of Jamaica and Japan in the world economy, Babylon East is a rare ethnographic account of Afro-Asian cultural exchange and global discourses of blackness beyond the African diaspora.

Download or read book The Rasta Girl Who Escapes from Babylon written by Elaine Maskel and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took several hundred pages of manuscript and over thirteen years of labor for Rasta Girl to become this very unique book that weaves fiction into reality from a Rasta perspective. You will go on the ride of your life as the heroine stretches you across international borders while at the same time confronting various trials in her quest to escape Babylon--on a spiritual journey to get to her true earthly home: Ethiopia! The main character, Princess Natasha, was born on the island of Jamaica and was taught the Rasta way through the eyes of her father. When her father suddenly passes away, she moves to Philadelphia with her younger brother, where they encounter extreme prejudice and the shock of being forced to live in a foreign culture: Babylon! After meeting Jamal, her journey takes her into a Catholic boarding home, but after staying there for a while, Jamal convinces her to move to Washington with him. Once there, Natasha begins to experience mysterious revelations about Jamal as his true character is revealed, and Natasha quickly finds herself in the unfortunate position of having to confront and defeat secret enemies. Rasta Girl is not for the faint of heart, as there is sex, lies, murder, violence, and war in Natasha's quest to reach Mt. Zion, and all the tribulations and confrontations that a Rasta must experience are explored in this exciting book. There are many twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages. Enjoy the ride!

This book was released on 2002 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Visitors to Jamaica are often unaware that reggae was a revolutionary music rooted in the suffering of Jamaica's poor.

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.

Book excerpt: Kalla: Wikipedia. Sidor: 33. Kapitlen: Bob Marley, Reggae, Haile Selassie, Aston Barrett, Dreadlocks, Marcus Garvey, Babylon, Lejonet av Juda, Jah, Shashemene, Zion. Utdrag: Rastafari ar en religios rorelse som vaxte fram under 1930-, 1940- och 1950-talen pa Jamaica, och som fick en internationell uppmarksamhet genom de manga reggaeartister som tog till sig religionen. Enligt religionssajten Adherents.com ar rastafari utbrett bland personer av afrikanskt ursprung i huvudsak pa Jamaica och i afrikanska lander, men aven bland manniskor av afrikanskt ursprung i framfor allt den forna kolonialmakten Storbritannien, i ovriga engelsktalande Vastindien och i viss man i USA, Kanada, Australien, Nya Zeeland och Vasteuropa. Rastafarianernas namn pa Gud ar Jah eller Iah (uttalas djah respektive aiah pa engelska. I centrum for rastafaritron star den f.d. etiopiske kejsaren Haile Selassie (1892 - 1975) som efter sin kroning 1930 kom att uppfattas som de svartas Gud. Dessa fattiga, svaltande och kropssarbetande manniskor behovde ett hopp om en battre morgondag, och de uppfattade att deras landsman Marcus Garvey - som drev tillbaka-till-Afrika-fragan pa Jamaica och i USA - gav dem ett sadant. Garveys uppmaning - "Se pa Gud med Etiopiens ogon" - fick dem att utveckla forestallningar om Selassie som Gud, Etiopien som hemlandet Zion och Amerika och Europa som Babylon. De anser att Gamla Testamentets berattelser om den babyloniska fangenskapen, men aven uttaget (exodus) ur Egypten under ledning av Moses, handlar om dem, eller alternativt ar handelser som aterupprepar sig. De svarta slavattlingarna i Amerika ar enligt rastafari verklighetens "israeliter." Aven om Babylon tycks vara ett sjalvgenererande system som haller alla manniskor i fangenskap, pekas ofta paven och den katolska kyrkan ut som Babylons harskare, eftersom katolska lander som Spanien och Portugal och deras regenter startade slavhandeln. Att det katolska...
