In the dawn of the new African Millennium, the Rastafari movement has achieved unheralded growth. Moving beyond a pure spiritual movement, its aesthetic component has influenced cultures of the Caribbean, the US, and others across the globe. Locating the movement at a literal and figurative crossroad, Barnett sets out to consider the possible paths the movement will chart. He covers a range of perspectives, focusing not only on the movement's nuanced and complex religious ideology but also on its political philosophy, cosmology, and unique epistemology.
