Abstract
Exodus! Heirs and Pioneers, Rastafari Return to Ethiopia, written by Giulia Bonacci
Highlights
Exodus! Heirs and Pioneers, Rastafari Return to Ethiopia is an ethnographically and historically commanding epic tome chronicling the return of “Black peoples,” as well as non-Blacks, from the West, the Caribbean, and Jamaica in particular to Africa/Ethiopia, as fulfilment of a complexly woven narrative instantiating the prophesied redemption of the formerly enslaved African captives of Europe
In order to make her case Giulia Bonacci walks into the heart of Rastafari cosmogony, intersecting channels that position her text as an essential void filler, serving to connect the “Ethiopian Belt,” an axis running from Kingston into the diasporas of Jamaica in the United Kingdom and North America, and repatriated in Ethiopia
It places the adversity of African nationalism as a palatable postcolonial option among those who chose this path and what unfolds as a protracted interest in providing “proof” to the rest of the society of the validity of this path
