Our very own, Daive Dunkley, director of Peace Studies, was recently published in LSU Press Blog.
In Women and Resistance in the Early Rastafari Movement, D. A. Dunkley examines the lives and experiences of Rastafari women in colonial Jamaica, where government oppression and silencing were the norm for those engaged in the struggle for Black liberation. Here Dunkley discusses the significance of petitions submitted to the Jamaican government in the 1930s by five Rastafari women who refused to accept the dominant white supremacist narrative of British colonialism.
