 Excellent Book for serious Rastafarians June 11, 2010
K. LEWIS
I purchased this book for a friend who is a very serious
Rastafarian. He just loves the book, and has read it again and again the first week he received it. I cannot recommend it for a non-Rastafarian.
 African Repatriation Manifesto and Divine Revelation proves interesting June 12, 2010

The Holy Piby is a short book, reprinted from the original publication of many decades ago. It is reputed to be the basis for Rastafarian beliefs in that it speaks of prophecies and revelations connected to the repatriation of all Africans to their original continent, manifested as "Ethiopia". What I found remarkable in the content of the text is that the story begins neither in Africa or Jamaica, but in Patterson NJ, where racism and economic difficulties in the 1920s and 30s created a fertile environment for the hopes of "negroes" to attain complete civil rights. This book was written prior to the coronation of Prince Ras Tafari, who took the imperial name of Heile Selassi when he ascended the throne of Ethiopia. This is seen as the fulfilment of one of the three key prophecies in the Holy Piby.
The Holy Piby's language and scholarship is unequal to other holy writings, deficient in grammar and narrative thought. Nevertheless it is a very valuable instrument in examining the aspirations and origination of Rasta.
