What does it mean to be Rasta?
This book serves as a documentary account of Empress Zaria’s journey into the world of Rastafari. Through personal exploration and scholarly inquiry, she traces the historical evolution of the Rastafari movement, drawing on the testimonies of elders who witnessed its early formation. The journal offers an unfiltered look into the ideological tensions between two of the movement’s foundational figures—Marcus Garvey and Leonard Howell—particularly regarding the divinity of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I. At the heart of this narrative is the debate over whether Haile Selassie I is the prophesied Black Redeemer from the East, destined to establish his Kingdom on Earth.
