Overview

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.James Morris Webb, born in 1878 in Tennessee and died in 1940, is an American reverend. He delivered a speech in 1921, predicting that a charismatic leader would be proclaimed king of a great African power and would also be the incarnation of the African God. In 1930, Tafari Makonnen was crowned king of Ethiopia (under the name of Haile Selassie I er), so this speech became for some a prophecy that is at the origin of the Rastafari movement.In 1924, Marcus Garvey, a black leader, takes up a prayer from Webb's speech ( Look towards Africa, where a black king will be crowned, who will lead blacks to their rescue ). That is why this discourse and this role of prophet are often mistakenly attributed to him.
