The contributions of Rastafarians to Jamaica and the wider world cannot be overstated, yet they face ridicule and discrimination even today. This book is not a comprehensive exploration of the rich cultural livity of Rastafari, but it provides valuable insight into core values upheld by the same.
Fisherman Bingi is an outcast who lives by the sea. His solitary life is soon disrupted by a crafty seagull, who shares a similar fate. Bingi loses his catch to the devious bird daily until his patience runs dry.
But how can he handle the flying fiend without losing himself in the process?
When his plan succeeds, it provides them with a golden opportunity to work things out. Now can love, forgiveness and unity, important values of Rastafari, transform them into something better than they were before?
If you've never met or interacted with Rastafarian, then this delightful tale will give you an eye-opener. For those in the know, it's time to celebrate and cherish a relatable character who is long overdue.
