The “Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act” H.R. 1833 which passed in the House of Representatives is now in the House Judiciary Committee. The bill defines partial-birth abor­ tion as “an abortion in which the per­ son performing the abortion partially delivers a living fetus before killing the fetus and completing the deliv­ ery.” A physician knowingly perform­ ing a partial-birth abortion would be fined or imprisoned for a two year WHEN KSENIJA Radovanovic parents sent her to the U.S. three years ago to escape the violence in Bosnia she only expected to maximum.

On Monday, President Clinton announced that the United States would be sending 20,000 troops overseas to Bosnia. The reason: to try and keep peace in a war that has ravaged the country and claimed thousands of lives in the process. Closer to home, this week marks the first annual observation of Peace Week, as declared locally by the Jeannette Kaimin Rankin Peace Resource Center. The idea is to bring the community editorial together through various events that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ celebrate peace, and commemorate those who work toward it by making it part of their lifestyle. Do these two events have anything in common? Sure.

Aotearoa NZ is no exception to this trend wherein the direct action message that Bob Marley preached to ‘get up stand up’ supported the radical engagements in the public sphere prompted by Black Power.1 In many ways, Marley’s message and demeanour vindicated the radical oppositional strategies that activists had deployed against the Babylon system in contradistinction to the Te Aute Old Boy tradition of tactful engagement. No surprise, then, that roots reggae was sometimes met with consternation by elders, although much of the issue revolved specifically around the smoking of Marijuana, the wisdom weed.2 Yet some activists and gang members paid closer attention to the trans- mission, through the music, of a faith cultivated in the Caribbean, which professed Ethiopia as the root and Haile Selassie I as the agent of redemption. And they decided to make it their faith too.

Roughly 448,000 Minnesotan residents have received one dose of the vaccine while roughly 97, 000 have received both doses. According to John Hopkins University, Minnesota’s vaccine roll out, compared to other U.S states, lies in the middle of the pack ranking at 17th. Nationwide, you may be surprised to learn that the U.S is rolling out COVID vaccinations faster than most countries. According to Oxford University, the U.S ranks first in the world for the amount of vaccines that have been administered with China following closely behind in 2nd and the U.K falls in third place.

Donnant vie à l’un des courants musicaux majeurs de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, la Jamaïque est un iceberg tropical dont la partie émergée, le reggae de Bob Marley, dissimule une histoire qui va bien au-delà de la musique. Trop souvent réduite à cette icône universelle, la musique jamaïcaine, aux ramifications aussi vastes que le jazz ou le blues, et aux racines remontant au temps de l’esclavage, trouve ses sources dans des formes traditionnelles héritées de la colonisation des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles.

  • Syllabus—The Political Theology of Bob Marley
    THE POLITICAL THEOLOGY OF BOB MARLEY Instructor: Dr. Neil Roberts Winter 2013 Williams College AFR13/PSCI13/REL13 Tu/W/Th, 1:00-3:50 PM Office hours: W, 9:30-11:30am [email protected] Hollander Hall 213, x4772 Course description: The Jamaican thinker Nesta Robert (“Bob”) Marley was one of the twentieth century’s foremost figures. During his short life, Marley became arguably the most visible member of the Rastafari movement and a critical voice in global discourses surrounding war, peace, human rights, freedom, and the role of religion in politics. This course brings together two sets of literatures that are currently experiencing a resurgence in intellectual inquiry: the first, scholarship on political theology and debates concerning tensions between religiosity and secularism in the public realm; and the second, the political philosophy of Rastafari. We will analyze documentaries, written texts, and audio-visual works on the life and times of Marley. This shall include the study of Marley before his conversion to Rastafari, the impact of the Wailers on his political theology, rebel music, messianism, the influence of non-state actors on state policies, the transformation in Marley’s thought after membership in Rastafari, Marley’s subsequent parting with the original Wailers, and the devotion of substantial time internationally in the latter years to Pan-Africanism and humanitarianism across color lines. Guest lectures by select scholars and personages with intimate knowledge of Marley, political philosophy, and religion in the public sphere will serve to enrich our collective experience. A goal of this Winter-Study is provide students with the context to ascertain the unique contributions of Marley to political theology, Rastafari, lyrical thought, and contemporary discussions in global politics over three decades since Marley’s untimely death.

International reggae, democratic socialism, and the secularization of the Rastafarian movement, 1972–1980 Stephen A. King During the 1970s, the Jamaican people appeared to rise “up in rebellion and revolt to . improve their social conditions” (Panton 31). After a decade of struggle against an increasingly repressive Jamaican Labour Party (JLP), Jamaica’s poor and dissident groups embraced the candidacy of People’s National Party (PNP) leader Michael Manley, the son of former Prime Minister Norman Manley, for Prime Minister in 1972. During the national election campaign, Manley attempted to appeal to the Rastafarians and Jamaica’s Black Power movement. Manley even adopted the Biblical name “Joshua” and promised the Jamaican people deliverance from oppression. Two years after winning the election, Manley formally declared Jamaica a “democratic socialist” country.
