In the hills above Kingston, in the years before the world gave it a name, a movement was taking root.
It began not with kings or politicians — but with the poorest people on the island. Men and women who had been told for generations that they were less. That their Africa was a place of shame. That their skin was a burden. Rastafari said something different. Rastafari said: you are royalty. You are connected to something ancient and unbreakable. Jah lives.
Rastafari: From the Mountain to the World tells the full, honest story of the Rastafari movement — from its roots in 1930s Jamaica and the coronation of Haile Selassie I, through the teachings of Marcus Garvey, the drumbeats of Nyahbinghi, the rise of reggae music, the global spread of the faith, and its meaning in the world today.
This is not a tourist's view of dreadlocks and Bob Marley. This is a serious, passionate, deeply researched account of one of the most remarkable spiritual and cultural movements in modern history — written by Winston Phillips with the honesty and respect the subject deserves.
Whether you are new to Rastafari or have lived its teachings your whole life — this book will give you something to hold on to.
