Dominik Frühwirth is a researcher and doctoral candidate who is currently working on the project Rastafari Reasonings on Africa in Historical Perspectives, which is a project mainly concerned with the connections between Rastafari, a movement emerging in the 1930 during the Jamaican colonial period, and the Rastafari movement´s long held identification with Africa and longing to return to Africa amongst Rastafarians.
In this episode, Dominik speaks: the necessity for researchers to amplify the voices of the collaborators in their research, defining and clarifying what Rastafari Studies are, and as well as a peer into the history of the Rastafari movement in Austria - grounded by an overview of the interactions between politics or “ Politricks “ and the Rastafari movement.
