“Banjo” is a 1929 novel written by Jamaican Claudius “Claude” McKay (1889-1948).

In Banjo McKay explains the Black intellectuals’ alienation.

This alienation, he suggests, is a product of a collective loss of folk tradition and folk knowledge.

Dem Rastas got it well right: real thinkers ‘ave to be “rootical”.
