Description
"An insightful account of the complex landscape of the Caribbean Redemption story around independence . . . one that underscores the longstanding call-and-response between Jamaica and Africa which, through Emperor Haile Selassie's visit, launches the journey of Rastafari Repatriation. Essential reading to fully comprehend the scope of Ethiopianism in the Caribbean."--P.J. Patterson, Former Prime Minister of Jamaica "This is the book--'the half that's yet to be told.' The visit of Emperor Haile Selassie I to the Caribbean captured the hearts of many of my generation and ignited a Rastafari revolution. My life changed when I saw the nail prints in Jah hand. The visit left us a reggae music mission to shape freedom, love, and justice for the whole world."--Rita Marley
