I am doing a project for my communications class on the Rastafari. I need a visual aid or a prop or something. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
A big spliff!!! Nah on a lighter note, see if your local library has any books on Rastafari or the Kebra Nagast (Glory of the kings). Try and find a Tam (Rastafarian headwear similar to a beanie cap) Or better yet, instead of visual, try and bombard one of the other senses. Play some Bob Marley for example? Rastaman Chant. Its difficult for Rastafari to be expressed through visual aides since material things are not coveted much to a Rastaman.
A Rastafarian flag. If you don't know what it looks like its a green strip on top, yellow in the middle, and red on the bottom with a lion in the center. A Lion of Judah picture. A marijuana leaf (picture so you don't get in trouble). A picture of the African continent. A picture of Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Marcus Garvey, Jesus Christ, or Emperor Haile Selassie I. A picture of a man/woman with dreadlocks. A Jamaican Flag And Ethiopian flag, which is the same as the Rastafarian flag as I mentioned above, but without the lion in the middle. I hope this helped brother.
I would just forget the herb because that's what rastas are you stereotyped as, potheads. I don't do the herb and I'm a rasta. Most rastas don't even touch the herb
wtf this is news to me...i have never met or even heard of a rasta that doesnt smoke weed......what are you basing this on...maybe its that huge 'Missouri' rast pop. that has beliefs of its own...i mean of course there are rastas that dont smoke but for you to say most....post some facts and i will be first to admit being sucked in by mass media once again
