Description
Summary:Bob Marley became a philosopher of emancipatory politics. Emancipatory politics starts with a basic and simple assumption that the African people think; and politics must be based on openness, accountability, and the liberation of African women, collective leadership, and the security of the producers. At the dawn of the twentieth century the Rastafari confronted a number of revolutionary traditions. These were the traditions of the liberal democratic revolution against feudalism. Like most black people, the Rastafari knew that this liberal democratic revolution did not include black and brown peoples. Rastafari understood the racist logic of manifest destiny and the vindicationists of the first period were opposed to this liberal democratic creed that accepted imperial wars as pacification.
