Summary: This article talks about how the isolated Rastafarian culture of Jamaica has spread throughout the world into countries like the US.
Thoughts: Im impressed with how effective and contagious this lifestyle has become around the world and it is very evident in cultures within our own country now, dread heads, mellow music all of it coming from here.
Linkage to culture: Rastafarian liberation colors - red, black, gold and green - are found on everything from bracelets sold at flea markets to tie-dyed T-shirts worn on predominantly white college campuses. The colors stand for the blood shed as black Africans were taken from their land, which was stripped of its gold and other natural resources.
