Biography

He was born in Jamaica in 1920. [2] [3] He was ordained as a Methodist minister, then migrated to the United States during the 1940s.

[2]

His dissertation, completed at Temple University, was published as The Rastafarians: a study of Messianic cultism in Jamaica in 1969. [4] [5] His book Soul-Force: African Heritage in Afro-American Religion was a finalist for the National Book Award for Philosophy And Religion in 1975. [6] His book The Rastafarians: the Dreadlocks of Jamaica was reviewed favorably in the 1970s by academics and has become one of the standard anthropological examinations of the religious movement. [3] [4] It was republished on its twentieth anniversary in 1997. [7] He published widely on various aspects of religious or spiritual life in Jamaica. [8] Barrett also contributed to reference texts in the field of religion. [9]
