Resumo

In this paper, I explore the role of the Caribbean creative imagination in advancing the Caribbean reparations movement. To support my hypothesis on the role of the arts in reparations, I examine the politics of reparations in reggae music by my exploration of the studio albums of the most influential reggae artist - Bob Marley. The four themes underlined are: emancipation, chant down Babylon (destruction of the neoliberal construction of the world), repatriation, and the promised land.
