  abstract = {{T}his paper analyses the stranger-host relationship through examples of names, which are taken or asserted by {C}aribbean {R}astafari, and attributed or given to them by {E}thiopians. {I}n the late 1950s a {C}aribbean {R}astafari population settled on the outskirts of {S}hashemene, a southern {E}thiopian town. {I} explain how these settlers, inspired by a popular tradition of {E}thiopianism, identify themselves as "real {E}thiopians". {I} analyse as well the names they claim ({J}amaican, {R}astafari) and the names given to them by {E}thiopians (sädätäñña färänjocc, tukkur americawi, balabbat and baria). {T}hese names illustrate the changing representations the {E}thiopians have of the {C}aribbeans and the shifting position of the latter in {E}thiopian society. {T}he complexities of the diasporic subject "returned home" and those of the national setting are discussed, thus mapping the boundaries of otherness at work. {B}ased on extensive research in {J}amaica and {E}thiopia, this paper draws on archival, written, and oral sources in {E}nglish and {A}mharic.},
