It notes the movement's pivotal moment: the 1930 coronation of Ras Tafari (Haile Selassie) as Emperor of Ethiopia, fulfilling prophecies for followers who view him as the living God. The book promises a deep dive into Rastafarian culture, covering elements like dreadlocks, the religious use of ganja (marijuana), and reggae music through text and photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePublishers:\u003c\/b\u003e The book is published by Research Associates School Times Publications.
