5.0 out of 5 stars rasta and its origin, May 10, 2000
this book is a great interpretation of rasta, the beliefs of rasta, and the practices of its members. anyone who wants to know more about the rastafarian movements, or just the rasta religion should read this insightful and enlightening book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not completely truthful, June 21, 2009
I have been traveling to Jamaica for over 20 years. I have many Rasta friends and also many TWELVE TRIBES brethren. I have to say, that the parts of the book that supposibly quote rules of being a Rasta are untrue.
The writer claims to have written this based on teaching of Bob Marley, Malcom X and several other's with theories on rightous living.
We all know Bob Marley's father was caucasian, so to have that knowledge and then write six principals of being a Rastafarian are: Page 10) HATRED FOR THE WHITE RACE, and 3) Revenge on whites for their wickedness....I was quite appaled and taken aback, since not one Twelve Tribes member I know thinks/lives this way, and many I know in Twelve Tribes are caucasian.
Also, the writer then contradict's himself on page 11, writing: 5) We disapprove and abhor utterly hate, jealousy, envy, deceit, quile, treachery, etc.
So, rastafarians "disapprove of hate"....but on page 10, the first rule is "HATE for the white race"???

Do not waste your time with this book. It is just some slapped together nonsense based on a blend of theories that clearly have no common ground,
Bob Marley is rolling over in his grave over this one~

Read "Kebral Negast" if you want to learn anything about Rastafari.
A skinny book of 50 pages that was the worst $9.00 I spent on a book ever.
I wish I could get my money back. Tbest part is the cover of the book!
