5.0 out of 5 stars yes I, March 8, 2001

By	Loren - See all my reviews

This review is from: Itations of Jamaica and I Rastafari (Mass Market Paperback)

this book is truly living. the first time i saw it i realized i had to own a copy. beautiful photographs printed on quality paper; pictures that actually live and breathe, and words that sing themselves off the pages. after "stumbling" upon this book twice in my travels and actually having an opportunity to read it once through before i obtained my own copy, i began to feel dreadlocks growing from the top of my head. since i purchased mine from amazon.com i've read it several times and use it as a reference and meditation guide. i am never without it in my journeys. i recommend itations to any one interested in rastafarianism, one love, world peace and unity; to anyone with dreadlocks or even thinking of cultivating them this book will begin to show you what it is all about. from the heart- Jah Rastafari!

5.0 out of 5 stars rasta beauty...ital for the eyes..., March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Itations of Jamaica and I Rastafari (Mass Market Paperback)

although a book that is rarely ever seen other than at a ROOTS REGGAE shop or maybe even a DEAD HEAD store, this is DEFINATELY the most beautiful, picturesque, and inspiring book on the life of rasta. the photo's, essay's, poetry, biblical passages all contribute to the magic within the two covers of this book. be forewarned, this book is not necessarily meant to be an introductory book into the rasta culture...this book is DOCUMENTING the rasta.

although, granted, this book is not for everyone (yet), if you have any interest in the ways of island culture and the place of the rasta movement in our world, please pick up this beautiful book.

i feel that the second itation wasn't as strong as this, the first. the third is also fairly interesting but this first and original itation is THE ONE.
