rastafarians  

Definición

  • Rastafarians is a term that originated in Jamaica to describe members of an indigenous messianic religious movement with social, political, and cultural extensions that have proliferated in loose form around the globe. The core belief of Rastafarianism is that former emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie is a black messiah, whose appearance and crowning in 1930 signaled the start of a mass redemption for blacks exiled around the world.
