Rastafari in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
The Caribbean Connection
Janet L. DeCosmo |
Book details:
Now that Rastafari has become a transnational or global form of resistance, rather than confined to Jamaica or the Caribbean, variations of Rastafari identity are being shaped beyond national borders.
In the early 1980s, Rastafari came to Bahia by way of Jamaican reggae. Today, Bahian Rastafari claim to be living in the second Jamaica.
Based on the author's fieldwork with informants over a 10-year span, this rich account of Rastafari and its relation to the religious life of Bahia is accompanied by unique illustrations of the people and culture.
