  • Chant Down Babylon: the Rastafarian Movement and Its Theodicy for the Suffering
    Verge 5 Blatter 1 Chant Down Babylon: the Rastafarian Movement and Its Theodicy for the Suffering Emily Blatter The Rastafarian movement was born out of the Jamaican ghettos, where the descendents of slaves have continued to suffer from concentrated poverty, high unemployment, violent crime, and scarce opportunities for upward mobility. From its conception, the Rastafarian faith has provided hope to the disenfranchised, strengthening displaced Africans with the promise that Jah Rastafari is watching over them and that they will someday find relief in the promised land of Africa. In The Sacred Canopy , Peter Berger offers a sociological perspective on religion. Berger defines theodicy as an explanation for evil through religious legitimations and a way to maintain society by providing explanations for prevailing social inequalities. Berger explains that there exist both theodicies of happiness and theodicies of suffering. Certainly, the Rastafarian faith has provided a theodicy of suffering, providing followers with religious meaning in social inequality. Yet the Rastafarian faith challenges Berger’s notion of theodicy. Berger argues that theodicy is a form of society maintenance because it allows people to justify the existence of social evils rather than working to end them. The Rastafarian theodicy of suffering is unique in that it defies mainstream society; indeed, sociologist Charles Reavis Price labels the movement antisystemic, meaning that it confronts certain aspects of mainstream society and that it poses an alternative vision for society (9). The Rastas believe that the white man has constructed and legitimated a society that is oppressive to the black man. They call this society Babylon, and Rastas make every attempt to defy Babylon by refusing to live by the oppressors’ rules; hence, they wear their hair in dreads, smoke marijuana, and adhere to Marcus Garvey’s Ethiopianism.

    Oneworld Readers’ Guide A Brief History of Seven Killings Marlon James On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert, seven gunmen stormed his house with machine guns blazing. The attack nearly killed the Reggae superstar, his wife and his manager. Marley would go on to perform at the free concert on December 5, but he left the country the next day, not to return for two years. Deftly spanning decades and continents and peopled with a wide range of characters – killers, gang members, politicians, FBI and CIA agents, journalists, conmen and even Keith Richards’ drug dealer – A Brief History of Seven Killings is the fictional exploration of that dangerous and unstable time and its bloody aftermath. About the Author Marlon James was born in Jamaica. He is the author of The Book of Night Women, which won the Day- ton Literary Peace Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is a professor of English Literature and Creative Writing at Macalester College, Minnesota, USA. Discussion Points 1. The novel’s structure invites the reader to play detective/journalist. In this sense, did you feel akin to Rolling Stone journalist Alex Pierce when reading A Brief History of Seven killings? Is there one character that you feel ties the novel together? 2. The majority of the characters in the novel are male, but it’s often Nina and her shape-shifting ways that readers are keen to discuss. Can her constant reinventing of herself, and her journey from Jamaica to America, be seen as belonging to any narrative tradition(s)? www.oneworld-publications.com Oneworld Readers’ Guide 3.

  • By David Burnett
    Bob Marley: Soul Rebel — by David Burnett Bob Marley: Soul Rebel On assignment in Jamaica for Time magazine in 1976, David Gallery Images Burnett photographed Bob Marley at his Tuff Gong home in Kingston, Jamaica, and then for Rolling Stone on the start of the seminal 1977 Exodus tour. Capturing the legendary musician at an exceptional moment in time, Burnett’s work intersects with both the zenith of Marley’s career and the traumatic upheaval of his flight from Jamaica after an attempt on his life. Although only a few of Burnett’s images of Marley were originally published, in the years after Marley’s death several of the photographs have become iconic, memorializing Marley on dorm rooms walls and t-shirts across the globe. This exhibition and accompanying book present the full extent of Burnett’s extraordinarily intimate images of the reggae legend. David Burnett, a veteran photojournalist, was the last photographer to cover the Vietnam War for Life magazine. He has worked in over 80 countries, documenting the coup in Chile, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the revolution in Iran, and the US military intervention in Haiti. A co-founder with Robert Pledge of Contact Press Images, Burnett is the winner of the most prestigious awards in photography. He has photographed every American president since JFK and every summer Olympic Games since 1984. He is a regular contributor to Time magazine.
