In this book, Mutabaruka teams up with two anthropologists to reflect and summarize some of the most important perspectives aired weekly on his two live radio shows on Irie FM, Jamaica’s Reggae radio channel. Cutting Edge and Steppin Razor are controversial by intention. These talk shows owe their impact to the uncompromised stance of its anchorman, paraphrased by himself as his own (rhetorical) ‘art of war.’ Drawing on the role model famously coined by Peter Tosh’s hit song ‘Stepping Razor,’ Muta emerged not only as an institution of ethical conscience and social consciousness in Jamaica but also continues to challenge global injustice, particularly for people of African origin.

About the Author
Sebastian Schwager works in the social sector (with people with disabilities) and is a freelance anthropologist, filmmaker, and musician. His research mainly focuses on media and visual anthropology in the context of post-colonialism, ethnohistory and ongoing globalization. He holds a master's degree in social and cultural anthropology and involves in field research in Jamaica, Greece, Australia, Bali, and Austria. His documentary film Rebels outta Vienna (2022) deals with the Viennese Reggae scene being embedded in the Rastafari movement (for more information: www.rebelsouttavienna.com). A saxophonist and producer, he regularly releases music under the pseudonym Sabolious (www.linktr.ee/sabolious). Exploring a variety of sounds and genres within his tracks, he found himself immersed in the vibes of Reggae/Dub, Chillhop/Lofi, Electronic, and Trap. Also establishing his record label Anaves Music (www.anaves-music.com), he is eager to promote various artistes worldwide. Lately he has collaborated with singers like the legendary Fred Locks or the highly talented Italian-Senegalese singer Awa Fall aka Sista Awa.
Werner Zips is professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Vienna, Austria. The trained lawyer and anthropologist is the author of numerous articles and books on Jamaican Maroons (Nanny's Asafo Warriors. The Jamaican Maroons' African Experiences, 2011; Black Rebels. African-Caribbean Freedom Fighters in Jamaica, 1999), Rastafari (Rastafari. A Universal Philosophy in the Third Millennium, 2006), and Black Nationalism. He has edited volumes on Legal Pluralism, the African Diaspora, and Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa. His recent research deals with issues of conservation in Africa, with a special focus on community-based natural resource management, indigenous rights, and climate crisis mitigation. In cooperation with Manuela Zips-Mairitsch he has edited the volume Bewildering Borders: The Economy of Conservation in Africa (2019). He has also directed and produced numerous ethnographic films and television documentaries on Southern Africa, West Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia, including the DVD Mutabaruka: The Return to the Motherland (2011).
