No tribute to moi among the great and good!!!!!
one thing after five pages.....the comment rasta as "Yeast in the dough" comment by Anita Waters whom he describes as a perspicacious american... is exact on point as to the role of RASTA in Jamaica...and is a comment that encapsulates an idea that i have come to again and again.. Rasta has had an impact on Jamaica psyche. both poltically as well as socially.. i would also state that it is a revolutionary Rasta not Rodney....but it has had a serious impact on Jamaican culture...some of it negative.. what i perceive as negative is that it has allowed people to become less engaged with the insitutions in a search for zion....as well as it has lessened the rural african content of the venacular to one of urban with the intervention of the "I" ficatation of words... a
Anita Waters did a good book on Reggae, Rasta and Politics which went up to the late 80's. Fleg should look at this again .. He should however move up a couple decades... from the new millenia...the post rasta period.....
I dont think that fledg writing will bring comfort to the standard rasta black nationalists... his brief treatment of Rasta is too subtle.... but he does give it a singularity which it has never had..
