A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace the origins of the Rastafari movement in 1930s Jamaica, from the coronation of Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia to the influence of Marcus Garvey's pan-Africanist philosophy. They explore how Leonard Howell and other early preachers blended Ethiopianism, biblical prophecy, and anti-colonial resistance to create a faith that would transform Jamaican culture. The conversation covers the movement's core beliefs—including the divinity of Haile Selassie, the sacred use of cannabis (ganja) for meditation, and the Ital diet—as well as the persecution Rastafarians faced from colonial authorities and mainstream society. Lucas explains the significance of the 1966 visit of Haile Selassie to Jamaica and how reggae music, especially through Bob Marley, carried Rastafari's message of peace, unity, and repatriation to a global audience. The episode ends with a reflection on how Rastafari evolved from a marginalized sect into a pillar of Jamaican national identity, influencing everything from politics to fashion.
