The Genius of Rasta Jamaica
Live from Jamaica, Caroline welcomes Jamaican Rasta Writing, film and film festival producing, author of 5 books, Barbara Makeda Blake Hannah. The first Black Woman journalist on BBC, she was nonetheless enticed back home to Jamaica in 1972 when Chris Blackwell and Perry Henzell offered her a job as Public Relations Officer for the first Jamaican feature film The Harder they Come starring Jimmy Cliff. Her book, Rastafari – The New Creation, is in its 7th edition. She was the first Rastafarian to sit in the Jamaican Parliament.
The Moon and Venus in Aries, welcome the Woofy Woman in all of us, exactly conjoined Pacifica’s’s Sun, Venus, North Node, “A woman bursting with gifts – more than she can hold!” – So it is with Pacifica, and so it is with Barbara! (With a fabulous clip from Fusion’s 2016 parody of Trump v Bernie, before dedicated fund magnetizing.)

The darker the lyrics – the jauntier the tune – the Genius of Jamaica
The darker the lyrics – the jauntier the tune – the Genius of Jamaica
Astro*politico debriefing: to triumph over chicanery, This Fund Drive, Caroline is offering 2 of her favorite novels, The Harder They Come, by Michael Thelwell (barely 20 copies available in world, and we have them! as pledge enticements.) In this potent, pertinent novel, the dialogue is written in Jamaican patois, so as we read, we can hear the melodic, ironic poetry of the Jamaican language in our heads. “oppreshun be only fur a seasun.”
We are also offering 1 copy of “Power Game” by Perry Henzell – that comes with a debriefing phone call with me, Caroline, upon return from Jamaica! Delineates the kind of team one needs to pull of a Revolution. Practical. And fun!
(We are also offering 3 months of Trickster Training Council. It all brews together. We want to get us all fluffed up to deftly dance with danger, to liberate all polarity into a spiral)
Michael Thelwell, Born in Jamaica, the author of The Harder They Come, was the founding chairman of the W.E.B. DuBois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he continues to teach. He has published a number of works, including two noted collections of essays, Duties, Pleasures, and Conflicts: Essays in Struggle and Hopes and Impediments. He is currently working on a biography of the former Black Panther leader Stokely Carmichael, now known as Kwame Ture.

Perry Henzel – Jamaican film-maker Perry Henzell was one of the most noteworthy figures of Caribbean cinema. His masterpiece, The Harder They Come (1972), starring the reggae singer Jimmy Cliff, remains the most outstanding film to emerge from the region and has continually served as a reference point for film-makers in the Caribbean and Latin America. It brought the sights and sounds of Jamaica to overseas audiences for the first time; in particular, it made plain the jarring reality of the Kingston slums and gave some indication of the Rastafari way of life, sparking an interest for many in the island’s culture.”

The Joyful Activist!
Electing an irresistible guiding story! On Valentine’s Eve, Caroline welcomes to the Visionary Activist Show, the Joyful Activist, Francis DellaVecchia, that we may honor his splendid article:
“Tired of old white men running things?” – wait for it – tis an unexpected encouraging, liberating narrative that ensues.
Francis has been energetically cahooting with Bernie Sanders since 2015, and has noted Bernie’s demographics dramatically expanding and blooming into “mostly young, more female than male, and a majority people of color. Not surprisingly perhaps, this demographic mix mirrors what the future of this country, and particularly its power structure, is destined to look like.”
