path to rastafari

[just1]

Hello,

As i read many books, loads of them contains a part of biography of peoples but its generally about politics or music. And they nearly never tell the personal path that led someone to become (or realize he is) rastafarian... Do someone know some (auto)biographies where a man talk about this part of his life, how he were and how he became?

it would be very helpful if someone could help me...

Sometimes the path to Rastafari involved the desire to sell more records, I suspect.

yep, you are right. i ve just read the book "rastafari, from outcast to culture bearers" (ennis Edmonds) amd the autor relates this possibility. he even quotes Cedric "im" Brooks telling hims that's the way Bob Marley came to rasta.
at least it s a kind of conversion that goes practice -> believe. it seems that this is pretty common in every kind of religion...
