How to say Babylon : a memoir
(Large Print Book)

Throughout her childhood, Safiya Sinclair's father, a volatile reggae musician and militant adherent to a strict sect of Rastafari, became obsessed with her purity, in particular, with the threat of what Rastas call Babylon, the immoral and corrupting influences of the Western world outside their home. This stunning story of the author’s struggle to break free of her strict Rastafarian upbringing ruled by a father whose rigid beliefs, rage and paranoia led to violence, shows how Safiya increasingly used her education as a sharp tool with which to find her voice and break free, and provides a unique glimpse into a rarefied world we know little about.
