Rasta fari anism This religion traces its inception to Marcus Garvey (born in 1887), whose philosophical ideologies were the catalyst that would eventually grow into the Rastafarian movement in 1930. Rastafarianism is often associated with the black impoverished population of Jamaica. It is not just a religion to them but a way of life, a struggle for their rights and freedom. In the early 1920's, Garvey an influential black spokesman was founder of the "back-to-Africa" movement. He spoke of the redemption of the black people through a future black African king . "No race has the last word on culture and on civilization. You do not know what the black man is capable of; you do not know what he is thinking and therefore you do not know what the oppressed and suppressed Negro, by virtue of his condition and circumstance, may give to the world as a surprise."( Speech, June 6, 1928, Royal Albert Hall, London. Quoted in Adolph Edwards, Marcus Garvey Rastas believe that all people of the world are equal, bound together by one god, Jah. They also believe their ancestors offended Jah in some way, which brought them into an exile of slavery in Jamaica. To them blacks are still suppressed through poverty and illiteracy and deceived by the white man's system, which is Babylon.

What is rastafarianism? Its Origins The Rastafarian movement was originated in Jamaica in 1930 based on the philosophies of Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887-1940). His organization's aim was to unite black people (Negroes) with their rightful homeland, Africa. He prophesied about his people being redeemed by a future black African king. This prediction was fulfilled in November 2, 1930, when Ras Tafari Makonnen was crowned King of Ethiopia. He later claimed the titles "Emperor Haile Selassie" and " the conquering Lion of the tribe of Judah". He was considered as the God of Africa whom Garvey had spoken about and as a result the Rastafarian faith was born. bodyOffer(2599) Leonard P. Howell was the first to establish a branch of the Rastafarian movement and in 1933 was arrested by the Jamaican Government for preaching a " revolutionary doctrine". Other contributors to the Rastafarian theology were Robert Hinds, H. Archibald Dunkley and Nathaniel Hibbert. The visit of Haile Selassie to Jamaica on April 21, 1966 was a momentous occasion for the Rastafarian movement. He encouraged the followers to liberate their Jamaican brothers before they sought to immigrate to Ethiopia. Haile Selassie's death on August 27, 1975 came with many responses from the Rastafarian community. Some said that his death was a fabrication. Others said his death was of little consequence because he was a personification of God. However, today followers of the Rastafarian movement still hold to the claim the he is God.

25. Rise Of Rastafari: The Life Of Bob Marley This cult, rastafarianism, thus became cast as a religion of the dispossessed among those who failed to acknowledge the intellectual rigor of many http://www.bobmarley.com/life/rastafari/rise.html

In Jamaica, as elsewhere in the world, the 1930s were years of social upheaval. Labour unrest on the island culminated in the vicious suppression of striking sugar-cane workers in Westmoreland: four strikers were shot dead, and dozens rounded up and jailed, including Alexander Bustamente, the leader of the new Jamaican labour movement. It was a perfect context for the rise of a band of islanders who divorced themselves mentally from an oppressive social system. This cult, Rastafarianism, thus became cast as a religion of the dispossessed among those who failed to acknowledge the intellectual rigor of many practitioners (the depth of Biblical and historical knowledge displayed at a Rastafarian reasoning is intense). In the hills of eastern Jamaica, Rastafarian encampments sprang up; a life of asceticism and artistry became the armour of the religion's followers against Babylon. Leonard Howell, one of the island's chief propagators of the religion, founded the Pinnacle encampment in an abandoned estate between Kingston and Spanish Town. Howell eventually decided that it was not Haile Selassie who was Jah but himself. In 1954 he was thrown into a mental home, and Pinnacle was closed down. The dreads, as Rastafarians became known colloquially, spilled out into the ghettoes of west Kingston. Around the time of independence in 1962, there were a number of violent incidents involving fire-arms between Rastas and the police, making headlines in the Daily Gleaner. The movement was now traveling with the speed of a bush-fire into the popular psyche of Jamaica.

Topics World Religions Topics World Religions ... Mysticism Rastafarianism Rastafarianism is a 20th century phenomenom originating from the shanty towns of Kingston, Jamaica, and spreading among the African (and non-african) diaspora on the wings of the international music industry and the ganja trade routes. The Rastafarian movement began with the teachings of Marcus Garvey who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the 1920's. He advocated a "back to Africa" consciousness, awakening black pride and denouncing the British colonialism that made blacks feel ashamed of their African heritage. "Look to Africa", said Marcus Garvey in in 1929 in his last address to the UNIA, in Jamaica, "where a king would be crowned, for the day of deliverance is near." When on on November 2 of the following year Ras Tafari, was crowned emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia and assumed his name meaning "the power of the Holy Trinity". it seemed like the prophecy was fulfilled. Haile Selassie claimed to be a direct descendant of King David, the 225th ruler in an unbroken line of Ethiopian Kings from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. He took great pride in being black and wanted to regain the black heritage that was lost by loosing faith and straying from the holy ways. He was also, mind you, considered a ruthless dictator, by some of the neighbouring african countries and was opossed by the Eritreans who were fighting for their freedom. He did however allow his subjects to draw up a constitution, established a parliamentary and judicary syystem, abolished slavery, and revised the constitution. In 1974 following worsening political and economic conditions he was deposed by the unsavory Marxist military dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, later toppled in turn in 1991

Rastafarianism Rastafarianism arose in the ghettos of Kingston in the early 1930:s at just about the same time as Haille Sellassie was crowned emperor of Ethiopia. Some of the most significant signs of Rastafarianism are the long dreadlocks, the red, green and black colours and the caps. This is not only a style, but also a part of their religion. The dreadlocks symbolize many different things for example the Rastafarians roots. It is also meant as a contrast to the white mans blond, straight hair and because of that it says in the Bible: "They shall not make baldhead upon their hair, neither shall they shave of the corner of their beards, nore make any cutting of their flesh. The way the hair grows also represents the lion Judah who in turn symbolizes Haille Sellassie. Another thing that's related to Rastafarianism is the reggae music, which is the most popular music on Jamaica. 2 of the symbols within Rastafarianism are the royal ring of Haille Selassie and the Rastafarianism bible, the Holy Piby.

Rastafarianism in Barbados Rastafarianism was introduced to Barbados in 1975 as an offshoot of the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica. The Rastafarian movement really began with the teachings of Marcus Garvey who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the 1920's. He called for self reliance "at home and abroad" and advocated a "back to Africa" consciousness, awakening black pride and denouncing the British colonial indoctrination that caused blacks to feel shame for their African heritage. "Look to Africa", said Marcus Garvey in 1920, "when a black king shall be crowned, for the day of deliverance is at hand". Many thought the prophecy was fulfilled when in 1930, Ras Tafari, was crowned emperor Haile Selassie 1 of Ethiopia and proclaimed "King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the conquering lion of the Tribe of Judah". Haile Selassie claimed to be a direct descendant of King David, the 225th ruler in an unbroken line of Ethiopian Kings from the time of Solomon and Sheba. He and his followers took great pride in being black and wanted to regain the black heritage that was lost by loosing faith and straying from the holy ways. Rastafarians live a peaceful life, needing little material possessions and devote much time to contemplating the scriptures. They reject the white man's world, as the new age Babylon of greed and dishonesty.
