What are the motifs in Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley by Timothy White?

Reggae and Jamaica is a recurring idea. Part of Marley's popularity was that his music transcended the boundaries of race, society and demographic levels. Many of the lyrics in Marley's music had elements of Rastafarianism as well as strong statements about the people of Jamaica, but not all listeners seem to mind or even understand these lyrics. For that reason, Marley's music was incredibly popular and made him an international success. He replaced Stevie Wonder as the most popular singer in the Third World, but it was his role as the representative of Jamaica, Rasta dreads and the significance of black people throughout history that really mattered.
