Robert Nesta Marley, commonly known as Bob Marley, is a powerful figure in society whose reggae music will be respected for centuries. This course will facilitate discussion about his life, music, and contribution to the Rastafarian Movement, as well as the world. Students will gain a deeper understanding of his life as a poet, prophet, and activist in reference to Rastafarianism. Additionally, the course will provide students with an understanding of race, class, and politics in Jamaica and their influence on Bob Marley’s morals, lyrics, and life as a Rastaman.

Enrollment Info:
