Bob Marley and Rastafarianism
About the Course:
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.
How to Enroll:
Since this is a discussion-based class, there are only 20 seats available in the course. A MANDATORY information session will be held on September 3rd, 2008 in 221 Wheeler at 6pm. Students will fill out surveys and take a small quiz in order for the class to be fair and balanced. If you receive an email on September 5th, 2008 with a course control number, then you are in the class. Please look at the syllabus in order to see if this class is suitable for your schedule. See you then, thanks!
