In the final chapter, I examine Rastafari interactions with the Ethiopian state and its representatives. I contrast the legal and subjective approaches to issues of citizenship and belonging. Through these institutional encounters, I look at how babylon (hell) is reproduced in the zion (heaven) of Ethiopia, for example, in how the land grant is policed by the Ethiopian state. However, I suggest that a cosmopolitan citizenship offers an avenue for Rastafari-grounded imaginative responses to contemporary inequalities to be translated into macro-institutional change. Underlying this discussion is the theme of empowerment through consciousness that traverses the manuscript.
