Rastafari: A Very Short Introduction provides an account of this widespread but often poorly understood movement looking at its essential history, principles and practices, and its internal character and configuration. What has caused its global spread? Why has it had such far-reaching influence on cultural and artistic production in the Caribbean and beyond? From its obscure beginnings in Jamaica in the early 1930s, Rastafari has grown into an international socio-religious movement. It is estimated that 700,000 to 1 million people worldwide have embraced Rastafari, and adherents of the movement can be found in most major population centres and many outposts of the world.
