The Politics of Contemporary Ethiopia by Yohannes Gedamu Pdf
This book investigates the role of ethnic federalism in Ethiopian politics, reflecting on a long history of division amongst the country’s political elites. The book argues that these patterns have enabled the resilience and survival of authoritarianism in the country, and have led to the failure of democratization. Ethnic conflict in Ethiopia stretches back to the country’s imperial history. Competing nationalisms begin to emerge towards the end of the imperial era, but were formalized by the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) from the 1990s onwards. Under the EPRDF, ethnicity and language classifications formed the main organizing principles for political parties and organizations, and the country’s new federal arrangement was also designed along ethnic fault lines. This book argues that this ethnic federal arrangement, and the continuation of an elite political culture are major factors in explaining the continuation of authoritarianism in Ethiopia. Focusing largely on the last 27 years under the EPRDF and on the political changes of the last few years, but also stretching back to historical narratives of ethnic grievances and division, this book is an important guide to the ethnic politics of Ethiopia and will be of interest to researchers of African politics, authoritarianism and ethnic conflict.

Laying the Past to Rest by Mulugeta Gebrehiwot Berhe Pdf
The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), founded as a small guerrilla movement in 1974, became the leading party in the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). After decades of civil war, the EPRDF defeated the government in 1991, and has been the dominant party in Ethiopia ever since. Its political agenda of federalism, revolutionary democracy and a developmental state has been unique and controversial. Drawing on his own experience as a senior member of the TPLF/EPRDF leadership, and his unparalleled access to internal documentation, Mulugeta Gebrehiwot Berhe identifies the organizational, political and sociocultural factors that contributed to victory in the revolutionary war, particularly the Front's capacity for intellectual leadership. Charting its challenges and limitations, he analyses how the EPRDF managed the complex transition from a liberation movement into an established government. Finally, he evaluates the fate of the organization's revolutionary goals over its subsequent quarter-century in power, assessing the strengths and weaknesses the party has bequeathed to the country. Laying the Past to Rest is a comprehensive and balanced analysis of the genesis, successes and failings of the EPRDF's state-building project in contemporary Ethiopia, from a uniquely authoritative observer.

Ethiopia by Tesfaye Mekonnen Pdf
Ethiopia: The Generation and its Heritage is a continuation of his past approach in critically probing Ethiopia's history. In doing so, Tesfaye undertakes an essential examination of the roots of ethnic political movements in Ethiopia. In order to expose its treacherous and destructive ideology, he goes back to ancient history before returning to the modern intricate political game of separatist movements. In his exposition to the issue, he projects an unusual frankness, narrating the particulars of ethnic political machinations as they represent themselves in the fabric of Ethiopian society. Tesfaye engages and sheds much needed light on sensitive political issues considered taboo, exposing the historical root of today's ethnic politics in Ethiopia. He demonstrates where and how the 'Oromo and Tigray-Tigrinya' movements emerged in Ethiopia's history - the emergence of a Tigray-Tigrinya racist ethnic movement after the death of Emperor Yohannes Ethiopia in 1889 which brought about the collapse of the Tigray ruling class. This ruling class is the founding father of the modern secessionist movement which is ruling Ethiopia today and one which gave the letter of independence to Eritrea. The Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front and the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front are one and the same. Tesfaye reveals the goal of these two twin extreme ethnic movements; the creation of a Tigray-Tigrinya independent state. Armed with historical facts, Tesfaye contends that the first goal of this project has been fulfilled by the creation of Eritrea with the Tigray separatist movement in power ultimately plotting towards the separation of all nationalities in Ethiopia. Delving through the past 130 years of Ethiopian history, the inception of the banda ruling class of Tigray-Tigrinya, how this class stood with colonial Italy and fought against Ethiopia is scrutinized. In doing so, Tesfaye illuminates the ethnic and ideological connections across time, aptly establishing the ethnic ideology of the so called Oromo Liberation Front as the grandchild of slave traders in Ethiopia's history. Tigray-Tigrinya and the OLF ethnic chauvinistic movements are modern Ethiopia's arch enemies. They are out to destroy the foundation of the Ethiopian state from its core. To achieve this, they are working hand in glove with the Arab enemies of Ethiopia, lead by Egypt. Unless the Ethiopian people are able to get organized and reclaim their countries' future in their hands, the disintegration of Ethiopia is imminent.

New Order in East Africa by Deribie Demmeksa Pdf
The book is an expanded adaption from an extensive independent study under the title Exploration of Socio-political History of the Oromo Nation of East Africa and Prognosis of its Future Perspectives. The study was outlying to the conventional Abyssinia-centered Ethiopian history and a partial departure from the academic tradition of Ethiopian Studies and Oromo Studies. It was a case study conducted in an advocacy world view and an atheoretical framework. It employed the historical parallel and the center-periphery approaches as objects of the study. The book narrates the socio-political history of the Oromo nation in the Horn of Africa. It accentuates the pressing problems of the Oromo in modern Ethiopia and identifies the loss of the socio-political center as an urgent problem. It sets a new grand narrative and a unifying vision for the Oromo nation and advocates for its peaceful and democratic rise to the socio-political center in modern Ethiopia and East Africa. It envisions Kushite Ethiopia and Kushite Ethiopian nationalism as the future of modern Ethiopia and East Africa.

The History of Ethiopia by Saheed A. Adejumobi Pdf
This engaging and informative historical narrative provides an excellent introduction to the history of Ethiopia from the classical era through the modern age. The acute historical analysis contained in this volume allows readers to critically interrogate shifting global power configurations from the late nineteenth century to the twentieth century, and the related implications in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa region. Adejumobi identifies a second wave of globalization, beginning in the nineteenth century, which laid the foundation for a highly textured Ethiopian Afromodern twentieth century. The book explores Ethiopia's efforts at charting an independent course in the face of imperialism, World War II, the Cold War and international economic reforms with a focus on the gap between the state's modernization reforms and the citizenry's aspirations of modernity. The book focuses on Ethiopians' efforts to balance challenges related to social, political and economic reforms with a renaissance in the arts, theater, Orthodox Coptic Christianity, Islam and ancient ethnic identities. The History of Ethiopia paints a vivid picture of a dynamic and compelling country and region for students, scholars, and general readers seeking to grasp twenty-first century global relations. The work also provides a timeline of events in Ethiopian history, brief biographies of key figures, and a bibliographic essay.

Medieval Ethiopian Kingship, Craft, and Diplomacy with Latin Europe by Verena Krebs Pdf
This book explores why Ethiopian kings pursued long-distance diplomatic contacts with Latin Europe in the late Middle Ages. It traces the history of more than a dozen embassies dispatched to the Latin West by the kings of Solomonic Ethiopia, a powerful Christian kingdom in the medieval Horn of Africa. Drawing on sources from Europe, Ethiopia, and Egypt, it examines the Ethiopian kings’ motivations for sending out their missions in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries – and argues that a desire to acquire religious treasures and foreign artisans drove this early intercontinental diplomacy. Moreover, the Ethiopian initiation of contacts with the distant Christian sphere of Latin Europe appears to have been intimately connected to a local political agenda of building monumental ecclesiastical architecture in the North-East African highlands, and asserted the Ethiopian rulers’ claim of universal kingship and rightful descent from the biblical king Solomon. Shedding new light on the self-identity of a late medieval African dynasty at the height of its power, this book challenges conventional narratives of African-European encounters on the eve of the so-called ‘Age of Exploration'.

Pedro Páez's History of Ethiopia, 1622 by Pedro Paez Pdf
This book, in two volumes, contains the first English translation, with introduction and annotation, of the História da Etiópia by the Spanish Jesuit missionary priest Pedro Páez, 1564-1622, who worked in the Portuguese missions, first in India and then in Ethiopia, long thought to be the kingdom of the legendary Prester John. Paez's learned but often polemical work is a major contribution to the political, social, cultural and religious history of Ethiopia in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and to the history of early Portuguese and Spanish missions in Africa and India, and West European attempts to come to terms with non-European cultures.

Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia by Bahru Zewde Pdf
In this exciting new study, Bahru Zewde, one of the foremost historians of modern Ethiopia, has constructed a collective biography of a remarkable group of men and women in a formative period of their country’s history. Ethiopia’s political independence at the end of the nineteenth century put this new African state in a position to determine its own levels of engagement with the West. Ethiopians went to study in universities around the world. They returned with the skills of their education acquired in Europe and America, and at home began to lay the foundations of a new literature and political philosophy. Pioneers of Change in Ethiopia describes the role of these men and women of ideas in the social and political transformation of the young nation and later in the administration of Haile Selassie.
