More often than not, the distribution of socioeconomic resources
and political power in Ethiopia has been perceived in favor of the
Amhara ethnic group. As a result, efforts to help the minority
ethnic groups were supported by the invocation of subjective
cultural attributes and sometimes, the manufacture of common
historical experiences. After the collapse of the military regime,
the present regime's misguided and divisive strategies sought to
rectify what it believed to be a historically distorted
distribution of resources and power in Ethiopia. This strategy led
to the division of the country into "ethnic Bantustans" and
hindered any real move towards development, democracy, and conflict
resolution in Ethiopia. In this new work, author Kasahun
Woldemariam argues that the Amhara were as excluded economically
and politically as any other ethnic group in Ethiopia, and that the
concept of Amhara domination is a myth. Working from an
interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approach, this
book includes over twenty figures and tables on the regional
distribution of revenue and expenditure, health and education,
manufacturing industries, and parliamentary elections. It is an
important resource for scholars and students of African politics
and ethnic conflict analysis and resolution as well as policymakers
worldwide and Ethiopians in Ethiopia and the Diaspora.
