On May 12, 2000, Mutabaruka
gave a spoken word performance at Ashkenaz
in Berkeley, California. During this 75 minute
presentation, Muta reasons about the manifestation of rastafari and the
need for a new faculty of interpretation in which the woman is uplifted and given her due
respect. Muta discusses politics, religion and how the Europeans
civilized Jamaica, the land they described as a "garden of eden". He reasons
about how crack and cocaine have destroyed this garden along with the minds of many young
revolutionaries. Muta also talks about the worst drugs of
all-tobacco and McDonald's |
