Series: Very Short Introductions

From its obscure beginnings in Jamaica in the early 1930s, Rastafari has grown into an international socio-religious movement.

It is estimated that 700,000 to 1 million people worldwide have embraced Rastafari, and adherents of the movement can be found in most of the major population centres and many outposts of the world.

Rastafari: A Very Short Introduction provides an account of this widespread but often poorly understood movement.

Ennis B. Edmonds looks at the essential history of Rastafari, including its principles and practices and its internal character and configuration.

He examines its global spread, and its far-reaching influence on cultural and artistic production in the Caribbean and beyond.
