Description
Bond without Blood constructs the narrative of the Ethiopian-Caribbean ties with three interwoven themes in mind: pan-African nationalism, repatriation, and cultural cross-fertilization. Central in all that is the evocative role of Ethiopian symbolism, the precursor of up to date racial nationalism, within the shaping of a collective pan-black consciousness. The full unitary thesis that holds this book together is that latest Ethiopian-Caribbean relation is deeper than a mere psychological preoccupation. Both societies, in spite of an ideal physical distance, continue to affect on each and every other’s awareness through migration, religion, secular culture, in addition to through a shared history of anti-colonial activism.
