A Rastafarian, often referred to as a Rastafarian or Rasta, is a member of a religious and social movement that emerged in Jamaica in the 1930s. The movement is characterized by its veneration of Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, as a divine figure, and its emphasis on Afrocentric identity, social justice, and resistance against oppression. Rastafarians often embrace a lifestyle that includes the use of marijuana for spiritual purposes, adherence to vegetarian or Ital diets, and distinctive cultural expressions, such as reggae music. The movement promotes themes of repatriation to Africa and the celebration of African heritage.
