Concluding Ideas
The effects of the movement are undeniable all throughout the world, especially in Jamaica, and all throughout Africa. Garvey’s ideals of black nationalism, along with political, social, and economic independence were revolutionary, and ultimately a prelude to the civil rights movement in the United States in the 1960s. Through localized Rastafarian community building, America has learned social acceptance, and gained cultural diversity. But what truly makes the Rastafarian movement unique is its diffusion, not through the use of missionaries as many other major religions do, but through the corporate mediums of pop-culture and reggae music.

Famous quotes containing the words concluding and/or ideas:
“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The ideas of a time are like the clothes of a season: they are as arbitrary, as much imposed by some superior will which is seldom explicit. They are utilitarian and political, the instruments of smooth-running government.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
