Essays examining Caribbean (specifically Jamaican) culture and the African roots thereof. Barry, in this work, is not simplistically Afrocentric but makes a nuanced, careful argument about the African roots of culture and identity that is,like everything else he wrote, worth reading. It reminds us that he was ripped from among us far too soon.

This book provides comprehensive information about the history of the Rastafaian religion. It does not give much insight into the mindset of the Rasta practitioner. If you want to know about that, listen to Bob Marley, but if it's history, or an anthropological approach that you are looking for, then this book will fit the bill.
