Rastafari emerged in the 1930s in Jamaica as a religious and social movement, primarily among Afro-Jamaicans. It was created in response to the historical oppression and marginalization of black people, drawing inspiration from the coronation of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, who was seen as a symbol of African pride and resistance against colonialism. The movement emphasizes themes of repatriation to Africa, social justice, and spiritual connection to African heritage. Additionally, it sought to empower individuals by promoting a sense of identity and dignity in the face of systemic racism.
