The Rastafari have been travelling to Ethiopia since the movement originated in Jamaica in1930's. They consider it the Promised Land, and repatriation is a cornerstone of their faith. Though Ethiopians see Rastafari as immigrants, the Rastafari see themselves as returning members of the Ethiopian diaspora .In Visions of Zion, Erin C. MacLeod offers the first in-depth investigation into how Ethiopians perceive Rastafari and Rastafarians within Ethiopia and the role this unique immigrant community plays within Ethiopian society. Rastafariare unusual among migrants, basing their movements on spiritual rather than economic choices. This volume offers those who study the movement a broader understanding of the implications of repatriation. Taking the Ethiopian perspective into account, it argues that migrant and diaspora identities are the products of negotiation, and it illuminates the implications of this negotiation for concepts of citizenship, as well as for our understandings of pan-Africanism and south-south migration. Providing a rare look at migration to a non-Western country, this volume also fills a gap in the broader immigration studies literature. 606 $aRastafarians$zEthiopia$xHistory 606 $aImmigrants$zEthiopia$xHistory 606 $aRastafarians$zEthiopia$xPublic opinion 606 $aRastafari movement$zEthiopia$xPublic opinion 606 $aRepatriation$xSocial aspects$zEthiopia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRastafarians$xHistory. 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory. 615 0$aRastafarians$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aRastafari movement$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aRepatriation$xSocial aspects 676 $a305.6/996760963 700 $aMacLeod$b Erin C.$01026378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464557903321 996 $aVisions of Zion$92441251 997 $aUNINA
