Abstract
There is a strong visual culture which supports and reinforces the identity of the Rastafari. The Ethiopian/African colours of green, yellow and red along with the Lion of Judah are two common symbols associated with the Movement. The images of Haile Selassie and Marcus Garvey are hung in most Rasta homes. Selassie's hand gesture, known as the 'holy trinity', is used by Rasta when they are photographed. These images are closely linked to the identity of the members of the Movement; how they represent themselves and help encourage unity and strength amongst a group who are often stereotyped and alienated from mainstream society.
