Women and Resistance in the Early Rastafari Movement is a
pioneering study of women's resistance in the emergent Rastafari
movement in colonial Jamaica. As D. A. Dunkley demonstrates,
Rastafari women had to contend not only with the various attempts
made by the government and nonmembers to suppress the movement, but
also with oppression and silencing from among their own ranks.
Dunkley examines the lives and experiences of a group of Rastafari
women between the movement's inception in the 1930s and Jamaica's
independence from Britain in the 1960s, uncovering their sense of
agency and resistance against both male domination and societal
opposition to their Rastafari identity. Countering many years of
scholarship that privilege the stories of Rastafari men, Women and
Resistance in the Early Rastafari Movement reclaims the voices and
narratives of early Rastafari women in the history of the Black
liberation struggle.
