KINGSTON, Jan. 21 (IPS) -- For almost 70 years, the culture of
Rastafari has had a love-hate relationship with Jamaican society.
Now, that ambiguous bond is analyzed in "Chanting Down Babylon,"
a novel which claims to give an unbiased view of the religion and
raises questions about the movement's relevance going into the 21st
century.
The book features essays from 21 writers who cover various
facets of Rastafarianism. It is a variety that has reportedly made
"Chanting Down Babylon" a popular buy since its release last year.
