In 1998 a bloody war erupted in The Horn of Africa between Ethiopia
and Eritrea. During the war Ethiopia arrested and expelled 70,000
of its citizens, and stripped another 50,000-plus of their
citzenship on the basis of their presumed ethnicity. Nationalism,
Law and Statelessness: Grand Illusions in the Horn of Africa
examines the events which led up to the war, documents the
expulsions and denationalisations that took place and follows the
flight of these stateless Ethiopians out of the Horn into Europe.
The core issue examined is the link between sovereignty and
statelessness as this plays out in The Horn of Africa and in the
West. The book provides a valuable insight into how nations create
and perpetuate statelessness, the failure of law, both national and
international, to protect and address the plight of stateless
persons, and the illusory nature of nationalism, citizenship and
human rights in the modern age. The study is one of a very few
which examines the problem of statelessness through the accounts of
stateless persons themselves. This book will be of great interest
to students and researchers in anthropology, law, politics, African
studies and refugee studies as well as professionals and all those
interested in stateless persons in the West, including Eritreans,
who continue to be denied basic rights.
