The Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy, written during the 1920s by a proto-Rastafarian preacher, Fitz Balintine Pettersburg, is of historical and religious significance to Rastafarians. Along with The Holy Piby, it is today recognized as one of the root documents of Rastafarian thought. It is a surrealistic stream-of-consciousness polemic against the white colonial power structure, a palimpsest of Afrocentric thought, brimming with rage and energy.
