520 |a This article argues that Rastafarian values represent potential ethical resources for mediating social conflicts in post-apartheid South Africa. Drawing on Victor Turner's concept of liminality within a broader phenomenological perspective, Rastafari is viewed as a liminal consciousness in a larger liminal sub-culture: as paradigmatic of the Afro-Jamaican lifeworld. This consciousness is described, with reference to Rasta poetry, as a redemptive ethic with three centres of value: a relational self (I-n-I), an integrated lifestyle (livity) and a prophetic social destiny (Ithiopia). The I-n-I concept is then utilized as an interpretive device to illuminate social ethical options between competing concepts of personal and social identity in the New South Africa.
