Mix Up, Mix Up: Reviewing Bob Marley as the Militant Mulatto
University of Miami
Fall 2011
ENG 106 R4/S4
Rachel Panton, Lecturer of English
In lieu of what would have been Bob Marley’s 66th birthday, we will explore the impact of Rastafari on the life and music of Marley, and on other contemporary Roots Reggae artists. We will also discuss the history of Marley’s mixed-race heritage and the ways in which race influenced his music and being. Students will be encouraged to investigate these issues, as well as develop their own inquiries about this mystical legend.
