Rastafari, a relatively young phenomenon, may be susceptible to misunderstanding. Clinton Chisholm doesn't suggest that Rastafari is misunderstood; instead he indicates that Rastafari itself is based on a misunderstanding of Ethiopian history, culture and documents, as well as a shallow grasp of Biblical literature.In Revelations on Ras Tafari, Chisholm has produced a primer that shows Rastafarianism's base of clay and structure of straw. Chisholm is perhaps the world's leading critic of the Rastafari faith, an authority and credibility for which he prepared through his research in Jamaica among Rastas, and his post-graduate degrees in Christian Apologetics and Biblical Studies on two different continents.Chisholm attacks and debunks the foundational link of the late Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, with Rastafari, exposing the links as more fanciful than historical, pointing out that the Emperor was neither God nor claimed to be God, but instead professed faith in the Christian God.Each chapter corresponds to one of the 8 categories of revelations with which he is concerned.With his superior exegetical skills, Chisholm attacks the claim that Selassie may be linked dynastically with King Solomon of Israel, that Sheba was Ethiopia, and that Sheba's Queen left Jerusalem bearing Solomon's child. In his revelations on Selassie's names and titles (pp.24-26), he shows how ignorance of Ethiopian history and customs leads to the crucial fallacy that Selassie was anything more than the 'king of the kings' of Ethiopia, only.The much revered Rastafari reference book, the Kebra Nagast, comes in for a diligently argued position contrary to popular Rastafari belief (pp.27-31). Chisholm meticulously argues to disprove any idea that Jesus was either Black or must have had dreadlocks.Philosophical (as well as historical) arguments see him through his Revelations regarding the claim that Rastafari is superior to Christianity. Here he educates as he repudiates fallacious claims regarding religions intrinsic to Africa.On the critical side, Chisholm, devotes about 20% of the material in this book to a collection of articles and reports on debates relevant to the book's thesis, in the appendices. These could have been better organized under chapter headings. Some readers will sense disconnection between the appendices and the chapters.Many readers may also see this book as one by a scholar writing for scholars and so not for popular appeal. Although a slender rather than voluminous work it is unlikely to be read at one sitting. It is intense and yet highly focused and so no attempt is made to assess the Rastafari Movement sociologically, as is customary in academia. Therefore, there is no attempt to praise the Movement for anything.A generous section of notes, index and a bibliography are provided, indicating its scholarly character. However, technical errors although few, would include the following: the failure to identify, on page 23, penultimate paragraph, Theodore as identical to the earlier mentioned Tewodros; a note on page 37, appendix 1, cites page 63 instead of page 64; and, on page 38, 4th paragraph, the 1st and last lines should spell 'complimentary' instead of 'complementary'. Nevertheless, despite those critical observations, Revelations on Ras Tafari is indispensable for every intellectual and serious student of Rastafari, Caribbean studies, Caribbean History, Sociology and Theology.
