Boukman Barima, K. (2017). Obeah to Rastafari: Jamaica as a Colony of Ridicule, Oppression and Violence, 1865-1939. Journal of Pan African Studies, 10(1). Chicago Abstract: The colonial state of Jamaica and its attending institutions have given free passes for how it has ridiculed, suppressed, and violently attacked Revivalism, Pocomania, Obeah, and Rastafari. This paper provides a stream of correctives for the practice of shielding the colonial state and its institutions from criticism. Exposing colonialism's contempt for Black Spiritualism and Ethiopianism is demonstrated through interrogating Leonard P. Howell, Alexander Bedward, and Paul Bogle. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, corridor, Bogle, Bedward, and Howell suffered severe persecution and owning to ways they articulated liberation through Black spiritualism and Ethiopianism as the elites branded Obeah, Revivalism, Pocomania, and Rastafari as seditious and pathways to lunacy. Labeling Jamaica's Black spiritual traditions as criminal and madness served as justifications to terrorize, imprison, and murder Obeah workers, Revivalists, and Rastas. Addressing this theater of ridicule and violence shifts attention towards Jamaica's harsh racial milieu were the consequences Afro-Jamaicans suffered for clinging to African spiritual ways and seeking redemption through Ethiopian paradigms that included but were not limited to beatings, imprisonment, and mockery. #babylonianinterruption #antibabylon #nattynever #getweary

Foundations shows the life journey of a young man being raised in a household under three different belief/worldview conditions: (1) atheistic/agnostic, (2) theistic evolution/compromised, and (3) biblical worldview (especially the belief that Genesis 1–11 is real history). Foundations makes clear that there is a strong connection between our belief systems and behaviors, and subsequently our life outcomes. However, we need to clarify “right out of the gate” that this movie does not promote “prosperity gospel” in any way, shape, or form. Foundations is a short film that briefly previews how believing and trusting in God’s Word and building your life upon it will result in a much different life than not doing so. As Christ Himself admonished:
