Once an obscure group of outcasts from the ghettoes of West Kingston Jamaica the Rastafarians have transformed themselves into a vibrant movement firmly grounded in Jamaican society and beyond. In Rastafari Ennis Barrington Edmonds provides a compelling portrait of the Rastafarian phenomenon and chronicles how this group much maligned and persecuted became a dominant cultural force in the world today. Edmonds charts the evolution of the relationship between Rastafari and the wider Jamaican society from confrontation and repression to grudging tolerance and eventually to cultural integration. Edmonds focuses in particular on the internal development of Rastafarianism as a social movement with its network of houses (small informal groups that form around leading Rastas) and mansions (larger more communal associations) to track the process of this strikingly successful integration. He further demonstrates how Rastafarian artistic creativity especially in fashioning the music and message of reggae was a significant factor in the transition of Rastas from the status of outcasts to the position of cultural bearers.
