Brother Man (1954) is a novel by Jamaican author and journalist Roger Mais, about a Christ-like wise-man and folk Rastafarian healer, 'Bra' Man' (in dialect) John Power.

Mais foresaw the defining power of the Rasta movement to Jamaican society 20 years before the era of Bob Marley and Reggae mainstream.

The novel is written in prose with a layout that is seemingly cinematic and episodic; little is done to describe the environment beyond the claustrophobic ghetto of 'The Lane' in the slums of Kingston, Jamaica.

[2] The plot follows the superstructure of Christ's story, with other characters resembling Mary Magdalene and other figures from his life.

It uses this to explore conditions in the black ghetto of Kingston and the growth of the Rastafari movement.
