CONT

Bongo était reconnu comme prêtre dans la communauté rastafari. Il m’a expliqué qu’il y avait toute une variété de différents types de Rastafaris en partant des croyants qui acceptent les dogmes de diverses sectes rastafaris (les Douze Tribus d’Israël, Nyabingi, etc.) à ceux pour qui le Rastafari est une déclaration politique de résistance contre la suprématie blanche, et à une minorité d’autres qui se servent des tresses rastas et du style rastafari comme couverture à leurs activités antisociales.
