About this book

Chanting Down Babylon: The Rastafari Reader by Murrell, Nathaniel Samuel. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781566395847.

This anthology explores Rastafari religion, culture and politics in Jamaica and other parts of the African diaspora. An Afro-Caribbean religious and cultural movement 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 - strongly appeals even to non-believers who are capivated by reggae music, the lyrics and the immortal spirit of its practitioner, Bob Marley.
