    There are multiple meanings for the word Babylon in Rastafarianism, but they more or less mean the same thing.

    Babylon is an important Rastafarian term, referring to the white patriarchy that has been oppressing the black race for centuries through economic and physical slavery. Rastafarianism is defiance of Babylon.

    In Rastafarianism, Babylon is the non-African world.

    Babylon is Jamaica or the establishment.
