Description
Filled with quotes from Bob Marley's speeches, interviews, and writings, this illustrated collection is sure to resonate with fans of his music and political activism, at a time when we need exemplary heroes.
Redemption has many meanings, but there is one definition that embodies the spirit of Bob Marley's beliefs and music: to reform, or to change for the better. Forty years after the release of his iconic "Redemption Song," his desire to make the world a better place through mental and spiritual emancipation-important first steps to physical emancipation for the larger community-remains powerful and vital to this day.
Using Marley's own words from interviews and his powerful song lyrics, his eldest daughter, Cedella Marley, creates a powerful narrative about the hard but rewarding path to redemption.
