  • Rastafari: Race and Resistance on a Global Scale Spring 2019 Thursdays 3
    Rastafari: Race and Resistance on a Global Scale Spring 2019 Thursdays 3- Robbie Shilliam 341 - Mergenthaler [email protected] Office Hours: Thurs 11-1 and by appointment Think of Rastafari and you will probably conjure images of smiling dreadlocked musicians, draped in red, gold and green colors, spliff hanging out of mouth, greeting you with an “irie” or “one love” against a languid palm-tree backdrop. You’ll probably think of men. You’ll probably think of an over-active sexuality. If you don’t immediately conjure that image, then you’ll probably know a lot more about Rastafari than the average person. But even that knowledge will most likely be cursory, in good part because Rastafari have tended to avoid the public spotlight, oftentimes for very good reasons. However, many Rastafari now assert that it is time for a greater understanding (Rastafari would say over-standing) amongst the world’s publics. The questions are endless. For instance, is Rastafari a lifestyle, a faith, a movement? (Rastafari call it a “livity”). Is it just a Jamaican, or Caribbean thing? (The Rastafari colors are from the Ethiopian flag; many Rastafari call themselves I-thiopians). Can white people be “Rasta”? (Still somewhat of a contentious issue in some quarters; however, the Rastafari creed proclaims “death to all oppressors, black and white”). In fact, what does the word Rastafari itself mean? (Rastafari is the crown prince title of Haile Selassie I, the famous Ethiopian emperor. In the Amharic language, ras is a military title, while tafari means, “to inspire awe”). The premises of this course are that: a) Rastafari has been fundamental to pan-African struggles of the 20th century; b) Rastafari contains, by virtue of its many contending (and contentious) histories, practices and philosophies, a microcosm of Black and anti-colonial struggle on a global scale; c) Rastafari even contains a microcosm of the general struggle for global justice, and for humanity to bring “heaven on earth”.

This paper proposes an assessment of the significance of Repatriation, which is still largely ignored in the literature on the Rastafari movement. The claim for the right to return to Africa ties Rastafari to the broader history of Black peoples in the Americas who have emphasized return as a redemptive mobility or as a political solution to their marginalized condition.
