Notes:
Papers presented at a workshop sponsored by the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, in September 1989. Originally published: Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire : Macmillan, 1995., 282 p, Chevannes and his contributors suggest that we can better understand Rastafari -- and Caribbean culture, for that matter -- by seeing the movement as both a departure from and a continuance of Revivalism, an African-Caribbean folk religion. By linking Rastafari to Revival, we can enrich our understanding of an African-Caribbean worldview, and we can appreciate Rastafari not only as a political force but as a powerful expression of African-Caribbean culture and tradition. Chapters cover African-Caribbean religions in several countries and from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
