This article interrogates what the influence is of the globalization of Rastafari on its Pan-Africanist and Back to Africa philosophies and asks the question: To what extent is Rastafari still the 'Back to Africa' movement it used to be? The research consists of literature study and analysis of interviews with Rastafarians from ten different countries. Furthermore, the traditionally black movement nowadays includes numerous followers who do not belong to the African diaspora, and thus might have a different conceptualization of what their 'motherland' is.
However, not all Rastafarians in the African diaspora seem to aim for repatriation any longer, and prefer to fight against 'Babylon' in their own country instead.
Since the emergence of the Rastafari movement, its members have continuously argued for repatriation 'Back to Africa'.
