He is the Rasta Peoples lord and savior. What are some of the beliefs of the Rastafari People? In fact, as much of the Rastafari religion is based on Protestant Christianity, the Rastafarians believed that they themselves are descendants of the ancient Hebrew people.

In the 1960s, a Rasta settlement was established in Shashamane, Ethiopia, on land made available by Haile Selassie's Ethiopian World Federation. [478] The community faced many problems; 500 acres were confiscated by the Marxist government of Mengistu Haile Mariam. [478] There were also conflicts with local Ethiopians, who largely regarded the incoming Rastas, and their Ethiopian-born children, as foreigners. [478] The Shashamane community peaked at a population of 2,000, although subsequently declined to around 200. [478]

[6] In the mid-1980s, there were approximately 70,000 members and sympathisers of Rastafari in Jamaica. [450] The majority were male, working-class, former Christians aged between 18 and 40. [450] In the 2011 Jamaican census, 29,026 individuals identified as Rastas. [451] Jamaica's Rastas were initially entirely from the Afro-Jamaican majority, [452] and although Afro-Jamaicans are still the majority, Rastafari has also gained members from the island's Chinese, Indian, Afro-Chinese, Afro-Jewish, mulatto, and white minorities. [453] Until 1965, the vast majority were from the lower classes, although it has since attracted many middle-class members; by the 1980s, there were Jamaican Rastas working as lawyers and university professors. [454] Jamaica is often valorised by Rastas as the fountain-head of their faith, and many Rastas living elsewhere travel to the island on pilgrimage. [455]
