The book Rastafari by Ennis Barrington Edmonds, I think is very interesting. Coming from a Caribbean background, I had always heard about Rastafarism, however I never really knew the ideology behind it. I had also heard of individuals such as Marcus Garvey, Paul Boyle, and Bob Marley. In know that in the Caribbean that the way in which the individuals wear their hair is often called "rast", and also they refer to each other as a "rastaman." The first chapter of the book really shed light theological side of Rastafarism. Focusing on how different aspects of religion and character traits. The video on Marcus Garvey I thought was informative. During the movie when his son said that he never saw him smile or laugh, and that he was always working. Even in the pictures displayed during the video, not one of the showed him smiling. The impression of Marcus Garvey is that he was a man with a mission. He knew exactly what he wanted and made things happen. In the eyes of Rastafarians he is a prophet because he challenged the norm, and went far.
I think it is kind of interesting that the idea at least I have about Rastafarian beliefs is more along the lines of a religion of love while Marcus Garvey did not seem that loving or even fun to be around.
