Marley was born in rural Jamaica and reared in the mean streets of Kingston's Trenchtown; his ascent to worldwide acclaim, first with The Wailers--Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone--and later as a solo artist, is a riveting story of the spiritual awakening of a uniquely talented individual.Now, for the first time, a symphony of voices has joined together to offer perspective on one of this century's most compelling figures. Dealing with Bob Marley as a man and myth, from his rude boy teens to international fame and his tragic death at the age of thirty-six, <i>Every Little Thing Gonna Be Alright</i> then explores the larger picture, examining Marley as the spokesman for Jamaica's homegrown religion of Rastafarianism, as a flash point for the pressure cooker of Jamaican politics, and his unique status as the first pop musical superstar of the so-called Third World.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hank Bordowitz</b> is the author of the critically acclaimed <i>Bad Moon Rising: The Unauthorized History of Creedence Clearwater Revival</i> and editor of <i>The U2 Reader: A Quarter Century of Commentary, Criticism, and Reviews</i>.
