Description

Greater Ethiopia combines history, anthropology, and sociology to respond to two major questions. Why did Ethiopia remain independent under the onslaught of European expansionism at the same time as other African political entities were colonized? And why will have to Ethiopia be regarded as a single cultural region regardless of its political, religious, and linguistic diversity?

Donald Levine’s interdisciplinary study makes a substantial contribution both to Ethiopian interpretive history and to sociological analysis. In his new preface, Levine examines Ethiopia because the overthrow of the monarchy in the 1970s.

“Ethiopian scholarship is in Professor Levine’s debt. . . . He has performed crucial task with panache, urbanity, and learning.”—Edward Ullendorff, Times Literary Supplement

“Upon rereading this book, it strikes the reader how broad in scope, how innovative in approach, and how stimulating in arguments this book used to be when it came out. . . . Previously twenty years it has inspired anthropological and historical research, stimulated theoretical debate about Ethiopia’s cultural and historical development, and given the impetus to Brand new political thinking about the complexities and challenges of Ethiopia as a country. The text thus easily remains an absolute will have to for any Ethiopianist scholar to read and digest.”-J. Abbink, Journal of Brand new African Studies
