When Ras Ruphal is beaten up by the police, he decides to leave the Caribbean and to repatriate to Ethiopia. His plan is to become a ganja farmer but life in Africa is difficult and when all his money is stolen he is forced to go into the jungle to live off wild fruits. A lion prowls the area at night and local thugs have set their sights on Ras Ruphal.
RASTAMAN is a story about the search for roots and the fight against what Rastafarians call Babylon. With mystical undertones and a chill pace, Andy Siege draws us into Ras Ruphal's life, his dreams and aspirations, his hopes and his sacrifices.
This book is a must read for anyone knowledgeable about Rastafarianism and for those who want to be.
