From Marcus Garvey to Walter Rodney. Rastafarianism is not, as some its detractors say, a fad of intellectual dilettantes, but a well thought out and coherent philosophy of ideas and actions to bring about fundamental changes in the condition of the oppressed.

This book is both a record of the resistance to tyranny and a refreshing critique and analysis of the imperialist conspiracy to perpetuate its dominance by any and all means necessary.
