Sylvia Pankhurst's publication had an impact on which movement in Jamaica?

  • Rastafari movement

  • Civil Rights movement

  • Garveyism

  • Back-to-Africa movement

Answer

The Rastafari movement, which emerged in Jamaica during the 1930s, was influenced by Sylvia Pankhurst's publication, "The Ethiopian Manifesto." Pankhurst's book, published in 1935, celebrated Ethiopian culture and history and promoted the idea of a unified African diaspora. The Rastafari movement adopted many of these ideas, including the belief in a messianic figure (Haile Selassie) and the importance of African self-determination.
