ABSTRACT
This chapter documents the author’s interactions with Rastafari adherents in both North America and Jamaica, as well as his participation in key Rastafari landmark events, in both of these locations. Rich ethnographic material is gleaned from interviews as well as the author’s observations at key Rastafari events. By juxtaposing his experiences with the movement in both North America and Jamaica the author is able to highlight that the movement is distinctly internationally networked from a relatively personal perspective.
