| | Marcus Garvey and the Early Rastafarians |
 | | But Garvey addressed many issues: the attempts by Europeans to separate Ethiopia from the rest of Africa, European attendance at the coronation and its impact, the coronation as a symbol of fl pride, and, most important, Garvey's expression of hope for a reign based on modernity within the framework of Pan-African solidarity. |
 | | Garvey and the Rastafarians, however, both read the Bible with the knowledge that Africa and Africans had been a part of that recorded experience and wisdom; it is not a book that is alien to fl people. |
 | | The Garvey movement, by contrast, was multiclass in its social composition and drew from the fl petite bourgeoisie or the emergent middle class: teachers, journalists, small businesspeople, fl industrial workers in the United States, and sugar plantation and banana workers in Cuba and the Caribbean, most of whom were peasants. |
