Rastafari Reasoning and the RastaWoman

Gender Constructions in the Shaping of Rastafari Livity

by Jeanne Christensen

An ethnographic study of how Rastafari women understand and negotiate gender roles within the movement. Drawing on interviews and reasoning sessions, it shows how ideals such as the 'empress' are both embraced and reinterpreted by women themselves.
