Brand Name: Douglas R. A. Mack
Item#/SKU: 6598
Doulas R.A.Mack in the role as griot reveals his first encounter with the early Rastafarians in Kingston, Jamaica, in the forties and fifties.
He visited the Rasta camps with his elder cousins; then to his pioneering role as one of the three Rastafarians emissaries who were part of the Jamaican Government sponsored official mission to Africa in 1961 seeking repartriation.
He returned to Africa in 1963, as a member of an independent repartriation mission following up on the ground-work laid by the 1961 mission.
The early Rastafarians were distinguished by their beards.
Douglas Mack as a young brethen testifies about the discriminatory practices of the Jamaican ruling class towards the bearded Rastaman; and he documents the violence meted out to the brethren by the colonial police force.
