How do the Kara, a small population residing on the eastern bank of
the Omo River in southern Ethiopia, manage to be neither annexed
nor exterminated by any of the larger groups that surround them?
Through the theoretical lens of rhetoric, this book offers an
interactionalist analysis of how the Kara negotiate ethnic and
non-ethnic differences among themselves, the relations with their
various neighbors, and eventually their integration in the
Ethiopian state. The model of the "Wheel of Autonomy" captures the
interplay of distinction, agency and autonomy that drives these
dynamics and offers an innovative perspective on social relations.
