The Ethiopian Perception of the Repatriated Rastafari by Erin Leaving Out of Babylon, Into Whose Father’s Land? The Ethiopian Perception of the Repatriated Rastafari By Erin Christine MacLeod Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD in Communications McGill University 2009 2 Abstract This project is the first to investigate the way in which Ethiopians view the Rastafari, a post-colonial religious faith. Since originating in Jamaica in the 1930s, Rastafari have moved to the East African country to settle, viewing the country as the Promised Land. Given this centrality of Ethiopia to Rastafari, my dissertation documents the perception of Rastafari and Rastafarians within Ethiopia and the role these immigrants play within Ethiopian society. The methodology used is that of thick description—making an attempt to engage with as many different narratives about the Rastafari as possible. Thick description allows for an understanding of what is happening as regards the interaction between Rastafari and Ethiopians, but also provides a sense of context and meaning. After extensive interviewing in the Ethiopian cities of Shashemene and Addis Ababa, a comprehensive review of Ethiopian media coverage as well as analyses of academic, religious and government documents, the multiplicity of perspectives found demonstrated a view of a unique immigrant community, as well as a multifaceted view of Ethiopia and Ethiopianness. I draw from the many narratives about the Rastafari a sense of what these narratives can inform relative to Ethiopian identity itself. Unlike traditional development workers who stay on average two years, Rastafari wish to settle in Ethiopia. The challenge, therefore, to Ethiopians is to find a way to legally recognize these immigrants within the already complex historical and social spectrum of Ethiopian identity. The Rastafarian desire for citizenship and involvement in Ethiopian society challenges the idea of what it means to be Ethiopian and simultaneously demands that Ethiopian and Rastafarian identity re- evaluate its sense of self. As the Rastafari involve themselves more fully in Ethiopia, through the establishment of both humanitarian and business initiatives, and engage with more levels of Ethiopian society, they present a more sustainable identity within the country. The Rasta belief in themselves as Ethiopian stems from a post-colonial understanding of the world. In Ethiopia, this perception comes up against a non- colonial view of the world, as found in Ethiopia's independent consciousness. I demonstrate how the Ethiopian perception of the Rastafari presents a situation in which different conceptions of identity come into dialogue and the notion of cultural citizenship is negotiated. Indeed, the negotiation between Ethiopian and Rastafarian identities ultimately illuminate the fact that as a symbol, Ethiopia is quite clearly defined, yet in reality, it is constantly in dynamic change. 3 Sommaire Ce projet est le premier à explorer la manière dont les Éthiopiens voient le Rastafari, une croyance religieuse post-coloniale. Depuis leur début en Jamaïque au courant des années 1930, les Rastafaris ont déménagé pour s’établir dans le pays d’Afrique de l’Est, le voyant comme la terre promise. Due en partie au rôle central que détient l’Éthiopie au sein de la religion Rastafari, ma dissertation documente la perception du Rastafari et des Rastafariens à l’intérieur de l’Éthiopie et le rôle que joue ces immigrants dans la société éthiopienne. La méthodolie utilisée est celle de « description dense »—tentant d’engager avec autant de récits sur le Rastafari que possible. La méthode de description épaisse permet à la fois une compréhension de l’interaction entre les Rastafariens et les Éthiopiens, tout en fournissant un contexte et un sens. À travers de nombreuses entrevues dans les villes éthiopiennes de Shashamene et d’Addis Abeba, une critique compréhensive de la couverture médiatique de l’Éthiopie, ainsi qu’une analyse de documents académiques, religieux et politiques, la multiplicité des perspectives retrouvées présentent un regard unique sur la communauté immigrante, ainsi qu’un point de vue varié sur l’Éthiopie et l’éthiopicité. De plusieurs récits sur les Rastafariens, je retire un sens de ce que ces récits peuvent dire sur l’identité éthiopienne comme telle. Les Rastafariens diffèrent des traveilleurs en développement international puisque ceux-ci ne restent qu’en moyenne deux ans, alors que les Rastafariens eux, désirent s’établir de façon permanent en Éthiopie. Par conséquent, le défi qui se présente pour les Éthiopiens est de trouver une manière de reconnaître légalement ces immigrants à l’intérieur de la complexité historique et sociale de l’identité éthiopienne. Le désir Rastafarien de citoyenneté et d’implication au sein de la société éthiopienne pose un défi à l’idée de ce que cela veut dire d’être Éthiopien et en même temps exige que l’identité éthiopienne et rastaferienne ré-évalue son sens de soi. Comme les Rastafariens s’impliquent davantage au sein de l’Éthiopie à travers des initiatives d’affaires et humanitaires, et s’impliquent à plusieurs niveaux de la société éthiopienne, ils présentent une identité plus durable à l’intérieur du pays. La croyance Rasta qu’ils sont eux-mêmes Éthiopiens est issue d’une compréhension post-coloniale du monde. En Éthiopie, cette perception s’affronte contre un point de vue non-colonial sur le monde, retrouvée dans la conscience indépendante de ce pays. Je démontre comment la perception éthiopienne du Rastafari présente une situation à l’intérieur de laquelle différentes conceptions d’identité entrent en dialogue et la notion de citoyenneté culturelle est négociée. En effet, la négociation entre les identités éthiopiennes et rastafariennes illumine le fait qu’en tant que symbole, l’Éthiopie est clairement définie, mais dans la réalité, elle est en changement constant et dynamique. 4 Foreword This dissertation has been a while in the making. I have not done this by myself and have had help at every stage. Thanks to my advisor, Dr. Jonathan Sterne, who made me feel as if this was a fascinating topic and encouraged me throughout. I know I wouldn’t have finished without him. Also, thank you to Dr. Jenny Burman for both feedback and support, and Dr. Will Straw for asking excellent questions. Thanks to all of my interviewees in Ethiopia and beyond; Rasta, habesha and otherwise, your ideas and insights have built this project. Big love and thanks to Dr. Sam and Cheryl Crow, two incredible individuals whose hospitality was beyond compare. Also, in Ethiopia, thank-you to Heruy Arefe-Aine, who introduced me to so many people and made me feel at home. Also, thanks go to my research assistant Salamawit Kidane who was able to wade through archives and come out with exactly what I required. Terefe Worku also deserves credit for connecting me with many important individuals. Thank-you to Habitat for Humanity International, without whom I would never have made my way to Ethiopia and subsequently fallen in love with the country. Thanks go to my parents, who supported not only that idea, but also just about every other crazy idea that I’ve had and the resulting successes as well as failures. Large amounts of gratitude go to my brother, Grant, and sister-in-law, Marnie. Their interest, support and, of course, care, has been invaluable. And thank-you also to my cousin Alison McKechnie-Popp, who brought up the idea of going to 5 Ethiopia in the first place. Much gratitude also to the entire staff of Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia and all their affiliates throughout the country. Special thanks to Genene Tasew, who has been an excellent translator, confidante and friend. If ever I was frustrated with anything—from being sick of fasting food to being mad at bus conductors for ripping me off, Genene was always willing to listen. In Montreal, thanks to Micah Locilento, who has always been willing to take a look at pretty much everything I write and gives both comments as well as much needed support. Thanks also to my many supportive friends, but especially Aurora Flewwelling-Skup, Cynthia Taylor and Tasha Anestopoulos, who listened to my complaining. Thanks to Julie Girard for translation, but also for coming and visiting me in Addis and loving every minute of it! Much gratitude to Dr. Paulos Milkias, Dr. Gunilla Bjeren, Atakilte Beyene and Dr. Fikru Gebrekidan for suggesting sources and always being great sources of ideas and inspiration. I also wish to thank my tireless Amharic tutors—Emebet Emissa and Hibret Asbetha. Though my Amharic still needs work, I learned so much from both of you. Tons of thanks go to Matthew Cain, who may regret having sat next to me on the plane, but who has been an unbelievable wealth of information and linguistic ability. I would not have been able to write large sections of this thesis without Matt’s help. His translations and conversations have been invaluable. 6 Also thanks to Dr. Barry Chevannes, Dr. Jahlani Niaah and Dr. Michael Barnett of the University of the West Indies, as well as Dr. Giulia Bonacci, who all provided encouragement to me and made me feel like this project was indeed of value. Also, to the Crossroads Conference 2008 and its organizers, especially Dr. Sonjah Stanley Niaah. Thank you for your invitation. The conference was a major turning point in my research. Thanks also to Joshua Chamberlain—the final stages of this project were made all the better, knowing that both support and commentary were only a phone call, text or email away.

After arriving in Paris, he worked for three months in order to be able to continue on his way to Spain and Morocco. From there, he set off towards the east. He crossed Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt on foot, went beyond the Aswan dam and over the desert to reach Sudan, where he got arrested by the authorities, because he did not have a visa. He spent three months in prison until the Ethiopian Ambassador in Khartoum heard about the Rastafari who wanted to go to Addis Ababa on foot and authorized him to enter Ethiopia.

  • PATTI SMITH Eighteen Stations MARCH 3 – APRIL 16, 2016
    /robertmillergallery For immediate release: [email protected] @RMillerGallery 212.366.4774 /robertmillergallery PATTI SMITH Eighteen Stations MARCH 3 – APRIL 16, 2016 New York, NY – February 17, 2016. Robert Miller Gallery is pleased to announce Eighteen Stations, a special project by Patti Smith. Eighteen Stations revolves around the world of M Train, Smith’s bestselling book released in 2015. M Train chronicles, as Smith describes, “a roadmap to my life,” as told from the seats of the cafés and dwellings she has worked from globally. Reflecting the themes and sensibility of the book, Eighteen Stations is a meditation on the act of artistic creation. It features the artist’s illustrative photographs that accompany the book’s pages, along with works by Smith that speak to art and literature’s potential to offer hope and consolation. The artist will be reading from M Train at the Gallery throughout the run of the exhibition. Patti Smith (b. 1946) has been represented by Robert Miller Gallery since her joint debut with Robert Mapplethorpe, Film and Stills, opened at its 724 Fifth Avenue location in 1978. Recent solo exhibitions at the Gallery include Veil (2009) and A Pythagorean Traveler (2006). In 2014 Rockaway Artist Alliance and MoMA PS1 mounted Patti Smith: Resilience of the Dreamer at Fort Tilden, as part of a special project recognizing the ongoing recovery of the Rockaway Peninsula, where the artist has a home. Smith's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at institutions worldwide including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2013); Detroit Institute of Arts (2012); Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford (2011); Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporaine, Paris (2008); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2003); and The Andy Warhol Museum (2002).

New York/London: New York University Press. ISBN: 978-1-4798- 8224-3, 299 pp, 49 $ Andrea Wolvers Global South Studies Center, University of Cologne <1> Visions of Zion is a book that engages with repatriated Rastafari in Ethiopia by focusing on the Ethiopians’ perception of Rastafari. As an in-depth study of Rastafari in Ethiopia but also, and in particular, of diverging narratives within a contested space, the book constitutes a pioneering study looking at issues of integration and attitudes and opinions of the host society. The author investigates the Ethiopians’ perception of Rastafari not only through interviews with Ethiopians but also by looking into different domains which offer a broader perspective, for instance, coverage of Rastafari in the media, theses written at Addis Ababa University dealing with Rastafari and the music business, in particular the Ethiopian reggae scene. In a greater picture, the book contributes to the understanding of the relation between Diaspora and continental Africans in the context of repatriation and integration. <2> Rastafari, which emerged in Jamaica in the 1930s but today constitutes a global phenomenon, embodies a philosophy, which highlights the importance of repatriation to Africa.1 Repatriation has been and continues to be an important theme among the descendants of enslaved Africans in the “New World”. “Shashemene”, the land granted to members of the African Diaspora by Emperor Haile Selassie I in gratitude for the support during the Italian invasion, constitutes a special place for Rastafari (and beyond) and has attracted repatriates since the mid-20th century.2 The Rastafari community in Shashemene, as well as the Rastafari presence in Ethiopia in general have lived through various stages and yielded different reactions within the Ethiopian host community.

  • Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari
    Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari Annika McPherson Abstract: While the male focus of early literary representations of Rastafari tends to emphasize the movement’s emergence, goals or specific religious practices, more recent depictions of Rasta women in narrative fiction raise important questions not only regarding the discussion of gender relations in Rastafari, but also regarding the functions of literary representations of the movement. This article outlines a dialogical ‘reasoning’ between the different negotiations of gender in novels with Rastafarian protagonists and suggests that the characters’ individual spiritual journeys are key to understanding these negotiations within the gender framework of Rastafarian decolonial practices. Male-centred Literary Representations of Rastafari Since the 1970s, especially, ‘roots’ reggae and ‘dub’ or performance poetry have frequently been discussed as to their relations to the Rastafari movement – not only based on their lyrical content, but often by reference to the artists or poets themselves. Compared to these genres, the representation of Rastafari in narrative fiction has received less attention to date. Furthermore, such references often appear to serve rather descriptive functions, e.g. as to the movement’s philosophy or linguistic practices. The early depiction of Rastafari in Roger Mais’s “morality play” Brother Man (1954), for example, has been noted for its favourable representation of the movement in comparison to the press coverage of

And time after time she asked Tâmrîn questions about Solomon, and time after time Tâmrîn told her about him, and she became very wishful and most desirous to go that she might hear his wisdom, and see his face, and embrace him, and petition his royalty. And her heart inclined to go to him, for God had made her heart incline to go and had made her to desire it. 24. How the Queen Made Ready to Set Out on her Journey And the Queen said unto them, “Hearken, O ye who are my people, and give ye ear to my words. For I desire wisdom and my heart seeketh to find understanding. I am smitten with the love of wisdom, and I am constrained by the cords of understanding; for wisdom is far better than treasure of gold and silver, and wisdom is the best of everything that hath been created on the earth. Now unto what under the heavens shall wisdom be compared?
