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.

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.

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.

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!

COULD YOU BE LOVED is of all Humankind acknowledging shared origin for Progress with Peace. " . . insightful . . incisive and instructive . . a beautiful poetic move . . brilliant . . author, poet, philosopher Tekla Mekfet relates Bob Marley's poetics to African philosophy, the Bible and the problems of Babylon as we encounter them in Jamaica and the world. . . helps to resolve the tension between the individual and the community, in Rasta poetics . . Historical memory . . clues to liberation in the present. Out of history and prophecy . . philosophy in Rastafari offers unaccustomed wide practical application." (Dr. Noel Erskine, Professor of Theology & Ethics, Emory University, USA). " . . deep understanding of world politics . . knowledge of the world's literary works whether fiction or treatise . . wide knowledge of music of all genres . . erudite . . encyclopedic . . for every and anyone." (Dr. Erna Brodber, sociologist-historian-novelist, University of the West Indies). "In his own thoroughly original way Tekla Mekfet evokes the largesse of spirit and innovative rhetorical performances of Walt Whitman . . Whitman opened up the space of the line in American verse; he had an agile poetic persona; he was chronicler, seer, prophet. In our time Ras Mekfet is accomplishing much the same through his vision and voice." (Michael Kuelker, Professor of English, St. Charles Community College, Rastafari-Reggae researcher, DJ, Missouri). Structure is as vocabulary item, social commentary, music of meaning, "Often, life is not nice neat sentences'. The index invites piece-mealing focus on such as The Word, Logic RHYTHM Household-Community, Reality, Freedom, Whiteness, or Oneness. Varied subjects are explored as symbiotic - as could be related to Spinoza's All is One and The One is Divine', to 'Selassie is The Chapel', to Hegel's 'God' dwelling within Humankind & permanently pervading the universe - related to shared African principles of an all-manifesting all-embracing 'NTU', or JAH of Rastrafari. Of Nature's Logic & Kant's 'Categorical Imperative' for universal oneness. Concept 'Babylon' de-constructed throughout, as is 'Zion'. Of 'Concrete Jungle', The City, Marketed 'God', Moral Relativity, "life-long insecurity." " . . the heavy and the weary weight / Of all this unintelligible world / Is lightened." Mekfet invites you to be free 'of being psychologically blind. For YOU, are living of some measure & mix of philosophy . . that you may be living unperceived." to be recognized "for sense of options for direction. ." - Mother Africa's Philosophy, Rastafari, The Bible, & cross-refs philosophy of West & East - Philosophy in Reggae, Jazz, Dancehall Music: Atavistic Appeal African Rhythms Worldwide - Culture of Politics, Mis-Education, Violence & Masculinity in 'Jamaica'/'Carry-beyond' - A Rastafari Journey, Jamaica & Social Prejudice - Animism & Literary Imagery. Multi-cultural imagery 'Christ'/Re-patria-tion/Ancestor Worship - 'Israel' & 'Jerusalem' not as geographical entities, but as universal concepts for social organization related to Rhythm of Ecology & Bio-diversity, the Cosmos as a single organism, & Bio-mimicry - all antithesis of concept of 'Babylon'

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.
