Dread History

Leonard P. Howell and Millenarian Visions in the Early Rastafari Religion

by Robert A. Hill

The historian Robert A. Hill, editor of the Marcus Garvey papers, reconstructs the career and ideas of Leonard Howell and the earliest Rastafari from archival and press sources. He shows how Howell drew on the Holy Piby and the Royal Parchment Scroll and places the movement within a wider millenarian Black Atlantic.
