The Truth About the Rastafarians.
“May the souls of all Babylonians roast in hell!”
First and sole edition. Illustrated from original photographs, this rare booklet serves as a catechism-like introduction to Rastafarianism, seeking to correct misconceptions and explain its philosophy. From the introduction:
“The Rastafarians have received a bad publicity because many people in the world do not know anything about them. Some people think that they only smoke ganja and wear their hair long. This is a wrong view held by many people. A true Rastafarian is a peaceful and a hard working person. He knows that he cannot rely on Babylon and Babylonians to do things for him and his people. There are others who also think that the Rastafarians have no philosophy. This small booklet answers all the important questions about the Rastafarians. It brings out the truth about them. Jah Jah’s children are rising. JAH-RAS TAFARI.”
